It is with the heaviest of hearts that I write this post. I am broken. At only 48 years old my partner passed away early hours of Thursday we were with him every step of the way. He was comfortable and peaceful. I have never felt pain in the way I did yesterday having to tell my children that Daddy had died. You were all so caring and concerned for us all I wanted to let you know. He fought the hardest of battles but in the end the disease won. His body could not take any more. And though the liver disease was the greatest factor the infections over the last few months took over and he never got the chance to be well enough for the transplant assessment.
We are lost and now I have to help my children heal and recover and live a life that is so different to the one we have known..
Thank you all for the messages, the advice but most of all the love and empathy I have received.
Ann

So very sorry to hear this Ann, sorry he never got well enough to have the transplant assessment. Thoughts with your and your children at this very sad time.
Ann, I can't begin to imagine how you or your family are feeling, to lose your husband so tragically . I too lost my sister to this disease aged 41, that was 9 years ago. It's just not fair!!
I know you have very challenging times ahead, so I hope you have plenty of support. Please continue to use the forum if you feel it would help.
I'll be thinking of you, and sending you my heartfelt sympathy.
I am so so sorry to hear this Ann. My thoughts are with you & your children. Like Wass71 says, please do continue to post here if you feel it would help - we are all here for you xx
Oh I am sorry for you my love. I cannot imagine how you feel. Some here have a better idea. All I can say is love those kids as hard as you can. They are a living proof of your shared love with your partner.
I imagine it will be tough, please ask for help, from the family or friends, but more importantly psychological help for the kids or you if needed.
So sorry Ann, there’s never the right words to say that will help. Sending heartfelt love to you and your children. I’ll keep you all in my prayers. Jane xx

There are no words I can write which will heal your pain - only time can do that? Let your thoughts now be for you and your children to go on living. Talk about your partner - let his life continue in your hearts and minds.
Most people experience loss at some point in their life - from the death of a pet, to the loss of a loved one, or even a child? We can empathise with your pain. You will be in our prayers. Estelle. x
Hi Livewell69. So sorry for your loss of a dearest one. I hope someday or even sooner that you would all heal. He’s in a good place now and not in pain. Try to find peace in that. Beefeater
So sorry Ann. What a difficult path you and your children will have to travel without his love! But you will all remember him. He will live on with you all and, though it is hard now to accept, you will all be the more sensitive, tolerant, loving and kind from realising the pain of his leaving. All my love and best wishes, Mary xxx
All my sympathy. Hold your children tight and let them them talk when they are ready. I don’t know how old they are mine were probably older. They were 18 and 20 when we lost their dad at 47 to leukaemia. The light sneaks back in. Don’t feel guilty when you smile or laugh about something you did together. And don’t forget to take care of yourself. 💞
Hi Ann, so sorry for your loss. I too lost my partner earlier this year, having been listed since Nov 18, on 29th Jan, we got a call to say King's had a liver for him, only on the journey to find it was not a great match...we returned home....full of mixed emotions. My partner became suddenly very I'll and was admitted to our local hospital on 31st Jan. He unfortunately lost the fight and passed away that night. I can imagine how hard it must be for you and your children. My heartfelt thoughts are with you at this time. Best wishes Cathy
I'm heart hurt for you I know the feeling of loosing a father it's gonna be rough for ur kids I'm sorry for ur loss I lost my father two years ago from help c cirrious of liver
Our hearts are breaking for you, your children; and family. We don’t really know what to say...trying to ease your pain. Just know we are thinking and praying for all of you.
God Bless
I am SO SORRY for your loss. So sorry. I lost mine on Mar 21st . Tried to go back to work but just couldn't. After 3 yrs of caring for him thru all his trials, hospitals admissions and stays ( to numerous to mention), in care home, his HE episodes, it was so overwhelming as I worked too.I needed time to recuperate myself. He came back to life 2x only to suffer more. Its VERY HARD adjusting to being alone. I've NEVER lived alone in ALL MY LIFE. I need to go to a therapist as I've literally been with my mom, dad, disabled brother and then my husband when they passed away. Images of his worst episodes flood my mind on occasion as well as his last day. I have so many questions. I get answers from friends but yet they come back like I cant accept them. I also wish I had brought him home to pass on. Did your husband pass away at home?
I hope you have support. I live in a small town of not so friendly ppl except for one friend. She has been there when I needed her but like I said I pray you have support esp with children. I also hope he didnt suffer too much. If you care to share what and how things were plz do. Take care and God bless and comfort you.
I've been following this site for about a year now ever since my husband was diagnosed with ESLD. I lost him 8 months ago (we are the same age, you and I). It took me a long time to reply after his passing and you are the first. I am so very sorry for your families loss. It sucks big time. I will pray that you find peace. I know how hard this journey has been as we have traveled the same journey. Knowing how devastating this disease is to not only the patient, but to the family as well.
Thank you all so much for your messages of support and comfort. I feel like I have been hit by a truck but the last couple of days I have had so many people around me and we have shared so many beautiful memories and relived so many happy times it had helped me put aside some of the sadness from when he was poorly and remember the happy strong giant of a man. I have found great comfort in that. Children are grieving and not shutting me out which is good. I hope in the future that I can offer words of support and comfort to others on here xxx
So desperately sorry to hear of your and children's loss. My husband is approximately six months behind yours so I more than empathise, you are in my thoughts and prayers. At least he is out of pain now but you will need to summon up the strength to stay focused and positive for your children. I so feel for you, sending you hugs and lots of love, Anne.
so so sorry ann, i lost a partner last year and know how hard it is to do all the practical things after a loss, but you need to allow yourself time to grieve. it will be difficult but try not to take everthing on your own shoulders if you can.
