“It was a long passing,” explained Hill, 54, whose mother, Edna, had died in 2016. “It’s difficult to lose parents just a couple of years apart and watch them pass right in front of you. My dad had Lewy body dementia and it was difficult to watch a man you know be someone that you don’t recognize.”
Faith acknowledged that it was easier to bear with the grief of losing her father because of Tim, who was by her side during the gloomy days. She also applauded her husband for his closeness to her father and for being there with him during his last moments.
“My dad adored Tim and Tim would visit him daily,” she remembered. “He was so present for the passing of both my parents. You reveal yourself when you are going through struggles and that’s just another layer of partnership.”

It’s never not a struggle,” said McGraw, who turned to his wife for help confronting his drinking problem 13 years ago and has lived a healthier life since. “Those demons always come back.
