wow, trish... your friend's experience [like your beautiful poem] is mirroring that of my friend as well.
i'd be very grateful for any information you might have that will help him through this process.
his wife is also an old friend of mine and she's struggling mightily every aspect of 'surviving' a terminal and ravaging disease like PD.
dealing with the brutal upending of everything she thought she knew about their lives after decades of marriage to the man in your writing has been terrifying.
thank you again for your compassion and opening my mind and heart to their devastating journey.
