It is with great sadness my Susan passed away today a 2pm. She was 64 has had MSA for the last 5years . Susan was14 and I was 15 years old when we had our first date on September 27th 1973 we went to the same school as a lot of our families did. We did not know each other but once I noticed her and I was hooked. We got married on the 5th July 1980 had two wonderful children Hayley and Nick and now have two wonderful grandchildren Charlie 4 and Georgia 2.The light of my life has gone out but she was so funny right until the end. I am lost for words how I feel right now but my darling my thoughts will be with you till the day we meet again. All my love Liam 🙏.

Liam, I am so, so sorry for you. No words can help at this very sad time however take some comfort from the knowledge that so many of us here on this forum have been through or fear the day you have had today.

You sound as if you were a lovely couple who loved each other completely. There will be a huge hole in your heart but hopefully you will find strength from the numerous memories you have of your many years together.

My thoughts are very much with you,

Take care, Ian

i am so sorry to hear that. my husband died at 78 9 years ago. After a tough 2 years i realised he was not coming back and started to do what he had urged me to do and tried to build a new life. ,, now i have a new loving partner with a similar history . we both know the value of a long loving marriage and both respect how much we owe to our former partners who are not forgotten. In the mean tme you have our deepest sympathy

Dear Liam, my thoughts and heart go out to you for your loss. What a wonderful wife you had and such happy long years. So difficult to come to terms with. But just dwell on all the joy you shared together, and watch those grandchildren live and grow. I hope you find some comfort there. Be strong until you meet again. God bless you. Take care.

Laim

So sorry that you have lost Susan to this hateful condition.

Clearly you were devoted to each other and I am absolutely sure she appreciated that.

She will be with you forever in your heart and your family.

Take time to grieve and be yourself.

Peace be with you.

So sorry to hear you've lost your lovely wife Liam. Your relationship with Susan sounds very special and my thoughts are with you and your family at this very sad time.

To echo some of the forums thoughts, take time to grieve and be kind to yourself, we're all human after all. I lost my husband to MSA a year and a half ago and the one thing he asked me to do was find a way to live my life and have new adventures. I'm doing that and I'm grateful to have spent 18 years with a wonderful man.

Take care of yourself every day Liam.

I would like to thank all of you for your kind words regarding my wife Susan’s passing. I have only just seen the posts it is very heart warming reading the posts. Susan had a Natural Burial Sue was buried in a white woollen coffin at Old Park Meadow Chelmsford Essesx. Susan was placed on a wooden cart and pulled along a gravel path to her hand dug grave. She had a beautiful service that was attended by 97 family and friends. We requested that a donation be made to the MSA Trust rather the bring flowers so far family and friends have raised £830. Take care everyone and once again thank for your kind words.
