Epilogue

[Telemark]

This morning was the first morning since March 8 that I did not think of my W as soon as I woke up; I'll take that as a positive step.

I'm forcing myself to think of anything else other than my W or my dying M. It's a minute-to-minute effort.

She is coming to the house tomorrow afternoon to take dog #3 and hopefully more of her things. I was considering being there when she arrives, but on second thought, it will be better to have no contact at all. The last time I saw her - 3 weeks ago - it was extremely difficult and depressing. I don't need more of that.
