    My DH died this afternoon of aspiration pneumonia. 60 years old and in perfect health before he was diagnosed. He fought this for 7 years. It has been a hard 6 days. He put up a good fight, but finally let go. His family was here, and the hospice social worker told us today he might not let go until he was alone. We all left and he died probably 15 minutes later. The nursing home staff and hospice have been so kind. Hopefully by donating his brain we will help to find a cure for this horrible disease and we will for sure know what he died of.

    Shannon--Despite knowing what the outcome must be, I'm still always taken by surprise at what seems the precipitous nature of these declines sometimes. So sorry you've had to travel this road with us, but I hope there's a peaceful place.

    Been thinking that one of the hardest thing about losing a spouse to Alzheimer's is that you lose them once mentally - they are usually still your husband at that time; and then again physically; at which time they are more like your child.

    Here is my husband's tribute page. A short, but well lived life.

    Shannon, I am very sorry for your great loss. I clicked through each photo in the slide show and it certainly looked as if
    Terry did a lot of living in what was too short of a life. You really did a wonderful job with his tribute. Take care of
    yourself.
