first post and probably the last. my wife sadly past away from M S A june 6 2024. first diagnosed end of 2021 initially parkinsons but after rapid decline changed to M S A. she was plagued with pressure sores and after a spell in hospital lost all her muscle mass, head drop never realy recovered but coping then suddenly within a week lost her ability to swallow then it was just staying with her and watching her fade away. the most awful time of my life not being able to do anything for her . so helpless and now heartbroken. i still cannot comprehend where this came from so out of the blue. i miss her everyday

So sorry for what you have been through and are going through. It’s so unfair.

My sister passed away in February and the only comfort I have is that she is at peace now xx

It's a truly awful journey for all involved and I'm so sorry you're going through this. My husband passed away in September 2021 after 7 years living with MSA and although I miss him terribly, it does get easier. My comfort like Jolanes post is he's at peace and not having to live with such a horrendous condition. Hold onto the good memories and that your wife had you by her side throughout it all.

Look after yourself as best you can and don't lose hope for your own life xx
