    I want all of my special friends to know that my husband passed away at home on a special day. After almost two weeks in the psych ward, and trying so hard to escape his mind, he stopped eating and drinking. He was just diagnosed less than two years ago with Alzheimer's. We brought him home on Friday. The night before my mother collapsed and coded next to Pat's hospital bed in front of my two boys. It took the doctors and nurses 45 minutes to bring her back. God could not save my Patrick, but he did save my Mom, who we desperately need on this journey. She is going to be okay. We had a wonderful "Irish Wake" for him on Friday night. Friends and family poured in and out all night to say goodbye. Pat passed away at 9:25 p.m. on Valentine's Day on his own terms in his own home with the people he loved the most right by his side. I am strong, but this is hard. My boys and I will be okay. This happened so quickly and I am grateful. Pat is grateful. Thank you so much for all of your kindness and support in the past few months. Please think of us this week. It is going to be special but difficult. xo

    Oh Christine, I am shocked your beloved husband declined so quickly, but if it was on his terms, then it's a blessing. I have been so worried about you and the boys and your Pat. These are difficult days ahead, I'm sure but you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Glad your mom is okay; you'll definitely need her. (((HUGS)))

    Thoughts and prayers added for you and your family. I would like to believe that your husband loved all of you enough to take his leave as early as possible to spare any more suffering for you. I know he will be the Special Angel looking out for all of you as you continue to live your lives finally free from this horrific disease.

    Oh Christine, I just got back in town from my husband's memorial service in our hometown where I got snowed in for 2 extra days. I am so sorry for your enormous loss. Your story was so much like ours...geri psych for two weeks after a very sudden decline with uncharacteristic agitation, hospice for 2 days and then slipping on into Heaven. I will pray for you and your family as you all now deal and adjust to all the changes and the loss. So sorry!
