dbh, I love this above. My best friend died last October, and I have struggled with the same thoughts you have. At the end of the day, accepting my powerlessness is my only control over it. And yes, she too had so many problems she couldn't cope with, and was profoundly sad for the majority of her life.
Thanks for sharing your update. I am glad things are going as well as they can be right now.
Peace,
