My heart has been completely shattered into a million pieces this morning.

My husband took his last breath this morning. The hospital have been fantastic, they really couldn’t have any more, they provided outstanding care, and compassion not only towards my husband but for us his family.

So now comes the nightmare of sorting everything out.

Thank you, all of you for all the support.

When funeral arrangements have been made I will be asking for donations to the British Liver Trust.

So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers for you and family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My husband passed away last Saturday. I found the first few days of having to deal with paperwork and phone calls got me through. It's now that it's waiting to be finalised that I'm struggling.

The best advice i can give to you is to take each moment as it comes, lean on family and friends (they really want to help) and be kind to yourself.

Please PM if you want. Maybe we can help get each other through this scary, terrible time.

I am so so sorry for your loss. My husband passed last Friday so I know exactly how you feel. I feel totally lost and everytime I think of him the tears roll down my face.

I too couldn't praise the staff who cared for him enough. Everyone of them showed such care and compassion for him and our family. He couldn't even speak the days before he left but I know he was still scared but he had had enough of enemas and lactulose especially. His last recognisable words were Im gone.

He loved his bottle of wine but once he was ill he gave up immediately and hadn't drunk a drop for 6 months. We were told he may have 12 -18 mths but sadly only got 6 mths. He was desperate to have a few days away and hoped he would get better after his drains but that time never came.

Fortunately he never became abusive with the HE but was definitely getting confused and knew it. He tried to overcome it and asked me to tell him old stories. We had been together for 49 years and I know he loved me more than life itself.

I don't think people realise how dangerous alcohol can be as my husband only ever drank of an evening and wouldn't ever drink during the day. However the fact he never had a day off it is what the doctors say did the damage. I get so angry that smoking is deemed to be the killer and yet advertising alcohol is fine with no warning of the harm it causes.

Sorry to go off on different tangents but as you can imagine my mind is not with it yet. I am crying again writing this as i miss him so much.

If I can be of any help please message me.

May our husbands now rest in peace.

Big hugs to you and your family. ❤

Thank you all for your kind words, they are bringing us comfort reading them x

For those of you that have also lost partners and loved ones, I am truly sorry, it is a very difficult time and an horrendous disease, not only for the person with it but also family and loved ones. There honestly needs to be tighter regulations around alcohol, it’s so, so dangerous.

We went back to the hospital yesterday, our sons and daughter, and took some flowers, chocolates and a thank you card for all staff that cared for him over the past 4 weeks, and also looked after us too, they really are heroes, every single one of them.

Thank you for all your support, and wishes x

Take care x

Lils2019 I am truly sorry for the loss of your husband. Words cannot express how you and your family and friends must be feeling.

I do hope that knowing someone is out there for you, who may have travelled similar road to you is able to bring you some support. A kindness and a smile is often all we need. Xx

I am new to this forum, so please bear this in mind (incase I do/say anything to offend anyone)

Take care

Thank you everyone for your kind words and thoughts.

I really do miss him, and it’s hard moving forward, but move forward we must, and we can get through this, we’re stronger than we think we are.

My family, friends, and work colleagues have all been amazing with the support and strength they have given to us, keeping us going when you just want to shut yourself away.

Husbands GP also called me after she was notified of his death, and checked in with me to make sure that we are all coping ok and if we need anything, even if it’s just a chat to call her. She is an amazing Doctor.
