Brian's organs all failed, and his doctors and I agreed therewas no point in trying to keep him alive. The man I loved, who actually loved my surly truthful self, was gone. Never coming back. A vegetable on a machine. Time to pull the plug on the respirator. That was what he trusted me to do. To be wise and loving and know when to give up. I wish I could cease to miss him all the time. I've tried rekindling friendship with my husband, but he's hopelessly no fun. He's just a d/s/our old man who, it turns out, can't remember his past without physical manifestations of it.

You did the right thing with Brian, painful as it was. It hurts because what you had was good.

Pity about the husband. He's blind. You're a gem and he can't see it.
