My wonderful husband, Eli, died this morning. His liver failure progressed, the elevated bilirubin progressed, jaundice, ascites, draining, and then hospice.
I've been thinking back on our journey since 2007. I think my best advice would be not to think you have no time for second opinions or longer consideration when it's time for a hard decision.
I can't tell you how important this group has been for me along the way.
