JR passed away peacefully this morning after a short 3 yr battle with dementia. He has declined very quickly and slipped into a coma yesterday afternoon. Kathy
I have been reading some of the older threads and have been following your story. The title of this thread, says it all. I am glad JR is now free from pain, but I am truly sorry for the heartache for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
We had not heard from you in a long time, but know that I never stopped thinking about you. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your dear husband. I hope you now will carry with you only the good memories of your life together.
Thank you for all your kind words, we have sent his body for an autopsy, and then I am donating his brain for AD research. Our family hopes that we can maybe help another family not have to live through this struggle. We have a private grave side next Sat and a celebration of his life next Sat afternoon. I am lucky to have an awesome family that is here supporting me and us. "The Best things in Life are not things............. Kathy
Kathy - You said it so well, "The Best things in Life are not things". My thoughts are with you as you have your memories and life now to live in another direction.
Kathy, those strong hands that hung the stars in the heavens and made the universe, are gentle enough to wipe away your tears. I'm so sorry for your loss. Peace and comfort to you and your family.
Northstar, My prayers are with you and your family in this time of transition. I too take comfort like trisinger in knowing I have angels in heaven who look over me. I am sure your DH is in peace now.
I am so happy that you are able to look upon the good times now. I hope you have family and friends surrounding you during this most difficult time. I hope you are able to find comfort and peace while looking back at the good memories
Well the family is all here, it was so nice to talk about JR when he was healthy and remember all the good times. We will bring him home for one last visit in 3 hrs and then give his eathly remains back to the earth. It has been a long week but much healing has happened in listening and sharing the stories of JR. Now this last rite of passage and then to try and move on with our own personal journeys always rembering and honoring the man he was. Kathy
