I am grateful for the peace and healing I am experiencing after the loss of my wife, so I was a little afraid to consider the possibility that our example might stand as a warning to others of how not to proceed. I chose to examine our medical choices as honestly as I could not for me, but for those who need to choose their course through life. It for you to decide whether I faced my fears and found hope or whether I found a creative way to continue in self deception.
