My husband of 30 years is in a nursing home. They tell me he is close to the end. I should be sad I think but instead I feel relief that I am done with his demands and finally have some peace. I am not lonely even though the house is large and I occupy it with only my little schnauzer. It has been so long since I have not had someone that I need to wait on or respond to that I love this feeling of complete autonomy.
