Thank you so much for your kindness. It has been a rough few weeks.

I'm not sure how you survived working in a nursing home. I can see why that would have been so painful for you.

In a way, I think it would be easier for me to accept my own death than the death of someone I love. It would be very scary, of course, but I think I would feel slightly less helpless. The helplessness is the worst part of losing someone, I think.
