I couldn’t leave this site without saying Thank You and Goodbye. My partner sadly passed away in April (he was the COPD sufferer) and I have stayed on here in the background in the hope that I could help someone, as so many of you have helped us both over the years. Unfortunately, it is all too painful to stay on the site, bringing back some things I’d rather forget.
I cannot thank you all for the help and advice that you have given over the years, not to mention the good wishes if you couldn’t offer any help. It was reassuring to know that others knew what we were going through at the time,
This is a great group and a lovely bunch of people and I wish you all so much hope and encouragement to carry on with your journeys. Keep up the exercises if you can, go to pulmonary rehab if you get the opportunity. Listen to what the experts are telling you. Don’t give up.
Sending you all big hugs.

BusNut, I am really so sorry to hear of the sad loss of your husband. Please accept my deepest sympathy. As others here have already said, it is so important for you to look after yourself now. All good wishes to you. xx

So sorry to hear that you have lost your partner. I hope the pain will pass and leave you will be able to remember the good times. Thank you for your good wishes. xxx
So sorry to hear your sad news, all love and strength to you as you find a way to go forward. I truly believe your partner will watch over you. Love never dies. (I lurk on this site as my partner so struggles with COPD and I find the advice and kindness so helpful)
Ps also, after 2.5 years waiting he now has a telephone ‘triage’ appt for pulmonary rehab this week. He wasn’t convinced it was worth it. After your timely advice above he has a different view. Than you x
Ah bless him. I truly believe that if you can keep yourself active (or at least have some form of mobility it helps with the condition. My partner hated rehab and only went once (don’t tell your husband that 😉) although he would do some of the exercises (when I wasn’t looking 🙄) but unfortunately he suffered with long covid and basically lost the use of his legs and ended up in a wheelchair, I do wonder if he had done more of the rehab whether the latter wouldn’t have happened. Good luck xxx
So sorry to hear of your sad loss. I was in the same position as you, last December 10th I lost my husband, COPD and heart condition. I decided to stay on this great site, persuaded by Don, I can’t help anybody with advice but like to read comments and enjoy Don’s great poems! I also found comfort in knowing that it was the best thing for my husband, always so cheery and happy, even in hospital, but he wasn’t having a good life. But we were lucky to have had 63 happy years together, and produced a lovely family who look after me well.So I count my blessings every day.

I'm so sorry for your loss of your Partner BusNut, I send my condolences. It is good that you found the strength to leave this message, without just disappearing, although, clearly painful for you. Maybe when the time feels right, you might possibly return to the site, even to just listen, who knows. I too am more of a watcher/listener with the occasional question or answer when I think appropriate.
It s wonderful that you said good bye in such a positive way with your posting. I wish you well. It’s such an early stage of your loss and it must hurt so much.
Today is the anniversary of my husband Harry dying. A long time ago. It still hurts but less so and happy memories are many and help so much.
Take care of yourself, as you are doing on taking this time out and may happier memories return for you.
Thank you for this lovely generous message. Time to look after you but please remember that you are so welcome any time you want to return or even visit .xx
