Sorry to be leaving.

17 Replies

I am sorry to be leaving but my husband had a cardiac arrest on 6th July and died of a further cardiac arrest on 8th July in ICU. Fortunately he was conscious and engaged to his last breath and it was painless. Ragged and sorrowful but I know he would be devastated if I did not get on with living. I am so glad I took the advice of the cardiac nurse who said "Plan for the worst, hope for the best". With this philosophy we had got things sorted and so far there have been no administration complications and he and I had taken each day as it came doing what we could with it depending on his energy levels etc. so I feel we did the best we could with a rotten situation. Wishing you all all the best.

Such sad news I am so very sorry for your loss .

Thank you everyone. I feel we walk a tight rope as patient and partner trying to get on with life but not denying that a turn for the worse or death could happen. It is so hard to use up some of the better times thinking about worse times but I think my husband and I became more closer and stronger because we did as we cried together and were there to support each other. That is something I draw on now.

Oh my sincere sympathy. We know we all have to go at some point but you and your husband sound to have planned and coped really well. Wishing you the very best.

So sorry to hear your sad news, but glad you both managed to make the most of every moment together. I'm sure being so close to you and having you by his side made this unbearable sadness easier for you and your husband to bear. As always, it's hardest for those who are left behind trying to cope with life after they've gone. At least you know that he couldn't have felt more loved than he was at the end. Best wishes to you for the future.
