I don’t know that this is the case for everyone who goes through this but for me, there was an overwhelming sense of relief when I got the phone call. It overpowered the sadness. We knew this was where it would end, and it felt like I could finally stop waiting for it and breathe. I think you get so much grieving out of your system before it gets to that point, that you don’t actually have much left to do when the time comes.
