My darling dh gave up the fight on Tuesday, October 20. It happened quickly. I will post more later.
I never came on the boards very often but the advice I received from everyone was so good and helpful. I joined this group in 2012, seems like an eternity ago but certainly went by in a flash of the eye.
Now I will begin the third step of Alzheimer grief, the goodbye and realization I will never see his face again.
Shirley, I am so very sorry to learn of the loss of your husband. No part of the dementia journey is easy. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dh at this time. Hopefully knowing he is no longer fighting the Alz demon and is at peace will provide some comfort during these difficult days. (((HUGS)))
Shirley, sending my sincere condolences to you and your family. I hope the memories of life with your DH will comfort and sustain you. The days will gradually get a bit brighter.......take good care of yourself now.
Shirley, Sincere condolences on losing your husband. So glad it was quick - that has to be a consolation as you face not having him in your life. God bless.
Sending you my sincere sympathy, Shirley. And even though we are expecting the end there is nothing easy about it so I wish you strength for the daunting days ahead.
Shirley, I'm sorry for your loss. I hope as others have said that you find a path for yourself in time. I lost my dear wife just over eight months ago and it has gotten better for me. I hope that for you too - and for everyone. My heartfelt condolences.
I am so sorry for your loss. As I found out myself, we are never as prepared as we think we are. Please rest as much as you can, and try to take comfort in the good memories.
