As I sat by my husband's bedside, watching him sleep and listening
to the sound of his labored breathing, I knew that our time together was coming to an end. We had been married for over 50 years, and we had faced many challenges and overcome many obstacles together. But now, as he lay there, frail and weak, I knew that our journey was coming to a close.
I reached out and took his hand in mine, feeling the warmth and strength that had always been a part of him. I thought back to the days when we were young, full of hope and promise, and I felt a wave of sadness wash over me.
But as I looked into his eyes, I saw the same love and determination that had always been there. He gave me a faint smile, and I knew that he was at peace.
We had done everything we could to prepare for this moment, to make sure that our families were taken care of and that our affairs were in order. We had worked with an elder law attorney to put our estate planning in place, and we had made sure that our children and grandchildren were protected.
