My beloved husband Amir passed away at 6:05 this evening. Today was his 80th birthday. I was with him and holding his hand until his last breath, which was peaceful. Now my hard work begins - learning somehow to live without him. I thank you all for your prayers and thoughts; your kind messages have meant more to me than you can know.
My deepest sympathy to you. Being with your dear husband at the end was your final gift of love to him. Remember that we will be here for you to help you through the grieving process. Much love and strength to you.
Again, please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband. Although the days and weeks ahead will be very difficult for you, somehow you will push through them. I'm sending my prayers for your continued strength and well-being.
Joni, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. May you be comforted by the memories of your life together and in knowing you with him at the end. Please take care of yourself.
So sorry for your loss, Joni. I hung onto something Wolf said in one of his posts...that Alzheimer's died when Diane did. It can't do any more harm to her. Same for your dear husband. He's finally free. Wishing you peace and comfort.
Please know you are not alone in your grief and state of loss. So many of us before you are still reeling from the devastation that comes with a death. Our minds tell us be relieved it's over for us both but our hearts crave the emotional bonds we shared. I know for myself the first couple months were relentless feelings of despair but time does lend a recovery period. Condolences to you and family.
