My prayers are with you. I am sorry that you have this to worry about. Coming from the south west I know about fires. Arizona can be both breathtaking and horrific at the same time. Fire is an enemy that no one wants to confront. Prayers. enna

75 days ago I lost the most important person in my life, my husband. At first there were no tears and now all I do is cry. I miss so many things about our forty years together. It is so lonely. I miss our morning coffees and the quiet evenings on our patio. We were soul mates. I retired in 2007 to keep a closer eye on my love who was slipping away with Alzheimer's disease. I am too numb to think of all that we went through but the one thing that I am so grateful for is the ALZ support group for caregivers I helped to start in our retirement community. I belonged to this group for two plus years until I had to step back to spend more time with my loved one. We were able to stay home with the help of the angels of Hospice of the Valley. Our Team was so supportive. We began our journey with Hospice in the beginning of May and my Jim was gone May 25th. I guess the reason I'm thinking about this right now is that I want you to know that you don't have to be alone. My Jim passed away in his home where he wanted to be. We talked about what he wanted before he was not able to think these things through. I know he knew he was at home even though those last few days were silent since he was not able to vocalize. His eyes spoke to those who visited. I miss him so. enna
