Monday, Jan. 24th my DH Kenny went home to be with the Lord. After 3yrs of struggle, with me and our sons at his bedside he peacefully died. Please don't refuse the help of hospice during this difficult time. Ken went into hospice care at home the beginning of Dec. Honestly, I kind of bucked the idea because I didn't want to believe the end was that near. Ten days before his death, it became evident that the end was coming. Hospice was there to help as we needed, stepped back when we wanted them to. Kenny had a beautiful, peaceful and painless death, with respect and surrounded by love. I'm very sad and will miss him so much but, happy he is at peace. Thank you for the years of support, even if I usually was just looking on. God bless and help you all.
My deepest condolences to you and your family. I am glad for you and your husband that his passing was peaceful.Thank you for reminding everyone of the value of hospice.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your DH. I do thank the Lord for the peacefullness he had. My prayers are with you and your family as you take the time you need to regroup and continue with life. Please keep coming to this site. The ones of us still here need the input of others to help us thru. May God give you peace and love.
nancyt---Peace be with you and your family as you now mourn and then begin to recover from the loss of your DH. He has movd on to a new and better place. Know that you enabled him to do that with dignity, surrounded by love. Peace be with you and your family, now, as you heal.
My thoughts are with you. Your husband had a painless passing surrounded by love and is now at peace as you told us and I hope for you that after the difficult days ahead you can start to accept some peace for yourself as well in the time that you have still been given.
May you and your sons find peace knowing the "final good-bye" for your beloved husband, with your love and support, was pain free and with dignity. A death we all wish for, for ourselves and our loved ones. Thanks for sharing your experience, it gives us all hope.
Dear Nancy, thank you for letting us know about the peaceful passing of your husband and that hospice was a blessing to you all. May the peace be with you always.
Sincere sympathy to you and the family. May you be blessed with peace and comfort. You have earned your much deserved star for your devotion to your DH. Blessings.
I am sorry for your loss and I am pleased that hospice was so respectful of what the two of you needed, that was nice to hear. Take care of yourself and let us know how things are going.
Nancy - so sorry for your loss. To go peacefully and surrounded by those we love. No better ending to a life. May you find peace and comfort in the days ahead.
Nancy--my heart is hurting for you. But I know after a while you will find peace and comfort knowing you loved Ken and were with him until the end. God's richest blessings to you and your sons.
Thank you so much for your comments, it means so much because you are sharing the same road. Everyone has left now to go back home and I'm alone. Really alone for the first time in 48yrs. But, your comments helped lift my spirit. Ken was a believer in the Lord and I know where he is and that he wouldn't want to come back. So now I'll just rest in Jesus' arms. Thank you all again.
Dear Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Kenny was so very lucky to have you as his wonderful partner and caregiver. I am glad he passed peacefully with dignity and surrounded by family.
Dear Nancy, My deepest sympathy to you. Thank you for taking the trouble at this most difficult time to remind us all of the important service that hospice provides. My thoughts are with you.
