At approximately 6PM today Swedish time, the love of my life, @DaRhedDol , passed away. Thank you everyone for your support and all who were able to be here virtually during the worst day of my life. 😭 I will never forget you. The most amazing person. I will always love you.

Advice from a recent widow: Stop telling friends “Here if you need anything” - 🧵 Please, be proactive! Make the first move. People who are going through depression/trauma/distress often do not have the energy to reach out or know what they need. Check in on your friends!

Just to clarify, the surgery was successful. They did another last night as well to help with the pressure. She’s on constant dialysis now. We’re now a week into this and the doctors are still trying to figure out what caused this and why it’s happening. It is that complex.

But afterwards I was happy we did it. It was still awkward but it reminded me that he’s another connection to Kiri and a part of her is always with him. Anytime I see him and talk to him, I get to see that small glimmer of her again. Talking with him reminded me of her 💜
