My love of my life passed away.

Yesterday morning my life, my everything, my husband passed away. He was hoping that its just chest infection but it wasnt. It was fibrosis which covered all lungs. When i seen a scan i was shocked, lings were white. Thanks to doctors in local hospital, they made everything for him to go with comfort.

I dont know why his consultant in brompton didnt tell me when he discharged him from hospital that his lungs are very bad. Why he gave us a hope and told he should get better soon after recovery from chest infection...

I m soo sorry my love, i was fighting for your life. Sleep in peace. Xxx

Don't be angry with them, whatever they told you or could have said would have made little difference to the outcome.

Anger would cloud the memories of the happy times, the important moments and the love and joy you both enjoyed.

I wish I could say something to make it all better but, of course, I can't.

Best wishes

I'm so sorry that you now have such awful heartache and my very deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear of your sad loss Mendy. May Colin RIP now. Xx

I'm so very sad that nothing more could be done to save your dearest love. Can't think why the consultant spoke the way he did - to be given a lifeline and then it have it taken away. At least your husband is at rest now, no more struggling for breath. Your family will hold you.

Mendy I am so sorry, you must be going through hell. He knows you did your best for him and loved him dearly. Thinking of you. Bev x

So sorry to read of you loss .. Consultants I assume don't want to take hope away from terminal or yourself.

Who can blame them when sometimes it's all we have SO sorry

Hi Mendy, I remember your other posts and how you have been fighting so hard for proper diagnosis and treatment for your husband. I don't want to sound like a troublemaker but I too would be very angry about what happened. Obviously the Brompton couldn't do any more for him but they should have been honest with you.

It does seen like your husband's illness was too advanced to save him and I'm glad the other hospital looked after him and kept him as comfortable as possible.

I know how heartbroken you must be Mendy, I hope you have family or friends around to support you.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I can't believe that no one told you the true extent of your husband's codition. I lost a dear friend with fibrosis early this year. He had superb treatment and had fought it for a number of years until the end. May your husband rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to you Mendy. I think the consultant should have at least warned you about Colin's lungs then it would not have been such a shock. You are probably feeling numb at the moment but it does get better with time and then all the happy times together come crowding in. God bless.
