Dear John

While you were in hospital I wrote this mantra on a postcard, and during the ‘up’, hopeful days, had it propped up next to my bed.

1. My husband is ALIVE!
2. There is HOPE that my husband will recover and come home.
3. Don’t grieve before you have to – worry not grief.

Sadly you didn’t recover and you didn’t come home.  So now I am grieving.
