This past year, three dear friends became members of the secret order of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood called WIDOWHOOD. They didn’t take a blood oath or swear undying loyalty—their husbands died prematurely and left them to pick up the pieces.
None of us know when the Grim Reaper will select our lottery ticket. For Jayne (63) and Bob (59) it occurred after a 13 year battle with a rare form of cancer, in a palliative care bed in St. Albert, Saskatchewan. Jayne tenderly performed his final bed bath and savored each stroke as she lotioned his body for the last time. In the end Jayne made the final call to ‘pull the plug.’ If you knew all the facts, that decision was easier than the discordant disruption of life she was living now.
