- I lost my husband Joe in December 2010 while we were waiting for a heart transplant. We both tried so very hard to keep him here working through VA inconsideration and the total inability to get any answers. Finally we took him to a civilian facility. Those wonderful doctors did everything they could but it was too late. For some reason I expected the one year mark to bring me peace and the desire to move forward. That just hasn't happened. I've read book after book, journal, pray but I find nothing works better than networking with those who "get it."
I have two grown children and three young grandsons. They were 2, 3 and 10 when their grandpa passed. They are now my life.
