8Have you ever given thought to what might lay at the end of life's road for you or your mate? How you might handle the loss that could come into play?

I have been there, and I have fought back the fear and sense of complete failure due to not being able to be with my wife in her time of need because of pandemic guidelines. I have fought back at the never-ending loops that your mind continues to go into while trying to make sense of the loss. My name is Michael L.
