My husband Phil passed away today . It was very peaceful ,he just slipped away. Until today there had been no sign that the end was coming. My daughter and I were with him this morning for about 2 hours. This afternoon the Nursing Home called that he was having trouble breathing and I went right back to see him and in the 20 minutes it took me to drive there he was gone.
I want to thank each of you for all your support and caring in these last three years and especially to Joan for starting this wonderful site.

Ruth condolences to you and yours. i guess in the scheme of our losses, when they pass quickly and unexpectedly it is sort of a blessing for them not to linger. peace to you now and may you find comfort. divvi
Ruth, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. There is comfort to be found on this site in the days ahead from all those who have gone through their final chapter in "The Life With Dementia".
I am so sorry. Having just lost my husband on Feb 1st, he passed the same way, very peaceful and sooner than they thought. Hold on tight and we will both get through this.
Oh Ruth, I am so sorry for your loss but I know Phil is in a better place. I am gald it was peaceful. Loving thoughts to you and your family during this difficult time.
Wishing you peace. We all know this is coming but when it is not expected, when things seemed at least status quo, it comes as a shock..at least it did for me when my uncle passed away this same way. It has been a hard journey for all of you. I hope, now your DH is at peace and well and whole again, you can get some rest.
