DH is finally free of all the limitations that have been place on him by Alzheimer's. He is enjoying clear conversations and sweeping up around the pearly gates.....but I miss him.
God bless you both.... From those of us who completed that long journey along with our loved ones - take very good care of yourself...and rest. Lots of us have had delayed reactions (health-wise) to the stress and exhaustion that accumulated within our bodies for years and it's no wonder. I'm so sorry for your loss, but at the same time, understand that from THEIR standpoint, right now they are exactly where they want to be.
I am so sorry. Your life will be undergoing a tremendous change. Please take care of yourself now and know you have many friends here with "arms around".
So sorry that the end has come, but it is just around the corner for many on here so we all understand how this brings on a feeling of relief and at the same time a big void in your life. Hugs and more hugs.
My sincere condolences, Phil, for the loss of your beloved husband. I know that adjusting to "life" without the constant demands of caregiving really will take some getting used to. You will have to learn to "live" again. But remember, as I have seen said above, that your man is now walking with the angels and is finally free from this disease that stole his life and memories (yours, too).
May the Lord be with you; I'll be praying for you.
Dear phil, I'm sad for you, but I'm glad that you know he fell asleep & woke up in the arms of Jesus. Now take care of yourself & find the peace that only God can give you.
Hi Phil, I am so sorry. This part is really hard too. Something that has given me a bit of comfort these last 3 weeks tomorrow.....
Apparently, one of our PSWs put her hand on Gord's as he lay in the coffin. She said softly to him," you must be so happy now. You are all together again and you have all your faculties. All your confusion and fear is gone."
With your love, he was able to leave the Alz tunnel with dignity, to be free and whole again. May yoube wrapped in the Peace that comes of knowing you did your best and it was good enough. Hugs, carosi
Please accept my deepest condolences. Your loving husband has been released from the grip of Alzheimer's. I hope, in time, the good memories before AD will comfort you.
I am so happy for your DH and rejoice that he is made whole. I know that you and your family will face some long, dificult days in the near future. I pray that God will grant you the Peace that passes understanding. You can relax and get some rest now, your job as an excellent care giver and spouse has been done. One of my favorite songs is "no tears in heaven". Arms around you and your family Phyllis
