It's been a long grief process and I almost think that when my wife is finally allowed to do what she wants to do, I won't have some big grief breakdown or anything? Like... this process has been ongoing for months and I've made my peace with it? I want my wife to get what she wants and allowed to stop living in pain.
There is something to celebrate in that too, you know? We all die, some of us don't make it to 25. Some make it to 95 without a thing wrong. Some live in pain a bunch of their lives.
I've always been a huge proponent of bodily autonomy, and while you don't ever expect to have to show your conviction to your thoughts on something that is so nebulous for a lot of people, I am actually proud of how my principles held up to what I truly believe.
And no, I take no issue with adding to this topic at all. Everyone has been so thoughtful and genuine and it warms my heart.
Just wanted to let you know that I admire how you've been able to navigate this situation with such grace. While I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you, I think the level of emotional intelligence and self-awareness you have is something we should all aspire to.
All the best to you, brother.
