The tender mercies of poly

My first wife died in a car accident 25 years ago. One of my former partners and her husband drove through the night to be there for my kids and I. As poly people we open our hearts so much to more people and the chances for for loss are increased; but we also have the love of more people to see us through. When this former partner had a heart attack and herself died, I was able to be there for her husband. We were family.
