Kim and I were with Don this morning as he took his last breath and died peacefully. As we grieve we can also be so thankful that he has been released from the suffering that Alzheimers Disease has brought him in these past few years. He had a wonderful life and will be greatly missed by so many. It seems to strange to be one of the members with a star next to my name.
I'm so sorry and we understand what you mean by him being released from the disease. Your work for him is nearly at an end and your work for you will hopefully begin in time.
Pris* - I know what you mean about the (*) by your name. The first time I had to say I was a widow I thought I'd faint. But Nature will take care of you, Time will comfort you and we are here to understand and give you strength. My sincere sympathy. Betty
Pris, I am so glad your husbands passing was peaceful and that you and your daughter were with him. I wish you peace and happy memories in the days ahead. God Bless.
I am so sorry the only relief from this disease has to be such a loss for you. I think of all of you who have * and what it took from you to earn them. May life be more livable for you.
Pris, you have been a wonderful caregiver. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Peace to all of you as you transition through this difficult time.
Don is safe and whole now. The heavy lifting is done. Rest now; recuperate. Let others now take carte of you, as you now set out on a newpath. L:et peace enfold you now.
my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Be kind and gentle to yourself and remember he's in a much better place ....and free from the ugly disease.
PrisR*, I am so sorry to hear about Don passing. We both came on here in April of 2009 and I have read your post along the way. You sound as if you jhandling it so well. I hope that I do as well when the time comes. You have done a great job.
PrisR* I am so glad that you were with Don as he passed. I am rejoicing that he has been released. I know that you have some hard days and months ahead of you. You have done a wonderful job of caring for and releasing Don. I hope that I can have much grace as you when it is my time. Arms around you and your family.
Oh Pris*! I have been checking to see how things were with you but I didn't yesterday. It was a shock to see the * beside your name. It seems there have been so many in the last year. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find the strength to get through the next few days.
How sweet PrisR. I just noticed I never made any comment to you. It wasn't because I didn't care..but, been kind of busy with my own dh. You did a great job and you now have earned your star. Those final memories will mean so much to all of us who travel this road to the end. That alone time is so important when it is just the two of you. Hope you find peace and happiness because you have truely earned it.
