The final week

MrsWorried profile image
78 Replies

Those kind enough to have followed my short time on the forum may recall my last post, only a few days ago, where I said hubby was refusing all further medical interventions and wanted to die with dignity at home.Readers, he fulfilled his final wish, he died yesterday morning peacefully. I was with him at the end. No one expected it so quickly, and I am absolutely rocked to the core, but his days of suffering, mental and physical are over.

RIP Joe xx

Really sorry for your loss, be assured you fought a good fight for him and did all you could. It's so, so sad that the demon drink claims another soul.You make sure to look after yourself and make the absolute most of your life going forward. As you say he's now at peace.

Big virtual hugs and thoughts coming your way.

Oh I am so sorry to hear this, you have had such a hard time and have been such a rock for him and a real advocate. I am so glad that he got to be at home, as he wanted and I am sure that was so comforting for him and you did so amazingly well at supporting him with love and compassion. Sending you lots of love xx

Oh “sweetheart” …… that’s meant in so many ways but mostly as it’s a true description of you. Care, support, love and compassion all jumped up from the posts you so beautifully scripted.

I’m heartfelt sorry,

I am so sorry to read this, having gone through this myself just last week I know how you are feeling right now. Words cannot express sufficiently what I would like to say, but know that you have been his absolute rock, support and loving wife. Take baby steps going forward and don't do like I did and try do too much too soon. If you ever want to chat/virtual cry/scream together, please message me anytime.

I only came across your recent post by accident as I am still subscribed on here despite my husband passing nearly a year ago. My heartfelt love and wishes are with as you navigate this new world we didn't want to be part of. It is shocking and horrific but you will survive by taking baby steps being kind to yourself and listening to your gut. I didn't believe I'd make it through this last year. If you would like to ever chat/ message ease feel free to do so xx

I am so so sorry to be reading this, take it easy on yourself, do what you need to do, not what others think you should be doing, take it day by day, baby steps. Please be kind and go easy on yourself.

Know that you did everything you could, and you’ve both been through a very difficult time.

Time for you to start to heal and rebuild going forward and you can do it, and you will get through it, sending love and strength xx
