A little stream of consciousness: I wish I was sombody's sombody again (thank you Prince). I feel like I'm just not needed anymore. The kids are grown and for the most part, taking care of themselves. Jack the Cat just needs me to feed him. I'm this close to starting up a dating app I want a drink, and then I get one, and immediately regret it. So I drink more
I still feel guilty. I feel like I could have done more. I also torture myself thinking "what if he was still in there when I pulled the plug? What if he knew what was going on?" I answer myself with the facts, that even so, he had gone without oxygen for too long, he would not have a real life. And even before his cardiac arrest, he didn't really have a life. He went to dialysis and watched TV. That was it. He had no real life. I feel guilty for myself. Even though I did pretty much all I could, I will alway think I should have done more.
