Battle Is Over

98 Replies

My husband Mitch passed away January 12th after fighting prostate cancer for 5 1/2 years. I was glad he was able to stay home and that I was holding his hand when he died. I pray soon there will be a cure for this awful disease.

Darn, saw the title and teared up again... seems that lately I see someone I have followed during my four years with this disease has passed... Bless you for supporting him to the end. I know my wife will probably have to do this also one day. God bless all the wives that see us through to the end... His pain is over and now you must battle to get through your grief. Remember all the good times and laugh with your family, it really does help... Doug

I'm so very, very sorry. May you find find peace knowing his pain has ended.

So sorry. It’s a shame something can’t click for us for many years. Going from one treatment to another takes it’s toll on all of us. And most of it is a bad quality and experience. God bless him, he’s at eternal peace

No more pain and no more suffering for him. I hope your grieving process is surrounded by support and love. I think leaving my wife one day will be extremely hard on her like all those we leave behind. Xoxo

I didn't know Mitch, but then again I feel I did, we have a disease that unites us as Brother in Arms.It all to common that wives who fought the battle along side with their husband must say good bye, many far to early

Mitch left us knowing he was loved and will be missed by family and friends

I am so saddened by your loss. Happy you were by his side and holding his hands.This will bring comfort during your moments of grief. Please take care of your own health now. Sending love your way.
