first time using autotype

this is my first time to try to write a post using audio. It is because I am pretty much a basket case, since my dear sweet husband passed away one week ago today.

 I realize that there may be problems with this post, but I truly want to tell you how much I loved that man and that he loved me. He was doing fairly well, in the new rehab center. But he was unable to clear his throat when he aspirated. I was not there, and I cannot imagine that this was an easy passing. But it doesn’t matter, he is gone, he is gone, he is gone. My sister has been here with me for the last few days, and it has been invaluable to have her assistance. My eyes have taken a turn for the absolute worst and now I can see very little. I will be taking the transit bus that Ben used, and I am looking for someone to help me to finish moving his things. But it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t need to be done tomorrow. I cannot imagine it being any harder for anyone than it has been for me to go through this. I will have a lot of empathy for others as they move through grief. I don’t know when I will post again, but it doesn’t really matter much to me anymore. I love my virtual family very much, but they’re just gonna have to wait until I am better. I am not well enough to do this again soon.

  2. I hope your sister can be with you for awhile and help settle some of the business particulars that are involved at a time like this. Losing your sight has got to be devastating and I hope your sister can help you navigate that issue, getting you settled into a space you can manage on your own. My thoughts are with you as I go about my day. I know you are saddened, devastated and unmoored.

I really appreciate your comments! If you see a word verification box here, just ignore it. I don't use the darn thing and Blogger is trying to get us to use it, I guess. Ignore it and your comment will still appear.
