LH I am very sorry for your & your wife's loss. It sounded peaceful - that is a blessing.

I will add that it is not wrong to feel a sense of relief at the ending of this long chapter (if you do).

Your wife may not return to 'normal' for a while yet - but this is all part of her now. It may take some time for her to sift through her emotions & weather the grief before you can forge together as a couple again.

Regained Hope is what I shall call you.

Nice. Regained hope. I'll take that.
I have learned so much about my lady since November.
I've also learned a great deal about myself. I'm not near as strong, or as smart as I thought I was, and I am not invincible.

I absolutely feel a sense of relief, and not at all for myself, but for my wife.

Just another quick update. Things are returning to the natural order of things for us. We are slowly going through 70 years of things at my in-laws home.
We have completed all that is needed to wait on the probate court, and eventually sell the house and put this behind us. ....at least until the next thing life dumps on us.
Thanksgiving is this Thursday, and I'm looking forward to a busy but relaxing day with my family intact. Hope everything is well with all of my new friends here, and want to wish everyone a great holiday season.

LH- Good to hear from you. I heard the probate process can take forever. Hopefully that won't be the case for you. Have a wonderful and peaceful Thanksgiving with your wife.
