    Bill, my husband, passed away this past Saturday.

    The staff prepared him for bed at 8:17 p.m. He appeared fine. When they checked again around 9:00, they found he'd died in his sleep. The last week or so, I had the funniest feeling when I was with him. It was as though he'd given up and didn't want to "fight" anymore.

    Shocked and heartbroken but if there can be any blessings, he died before he reached the final stages of Alzheimer's.

    He was in NH seven months.

    I write to tell this news but, also, to say to everyone that you will continue to be in my thoughts and say thank you for all the feedback that helped me through this difficult time.

    Blessings to you all.

    Patsy

    Patsy,

    I am so sorry for your loss, but I agree that is was a blessing for Bill to go so peacefully.
    I hope you can finally get some rest and peace yourself. I will keep you both in my prayers.

    Thank you all so much.

    Your kindness and support have overwhelmed me with thankfulness for a site such as this.

    Please take care of yourselves too. I've read the difficulties and challenges each of you face and admire your strengths and courage. I was physically and mentally exhausted after only seven months.

    I intend to check back often to see how everyone is doing.

    God bless each and every one.

    Patsy
