A very sad day as my wife collapsed and passed away early this morning. She had been suffering from PSP for about 2 years but it was steadily getting worse. She had been eating almost nothing at all and last night she asked if I would feed her a few mouthfulls. This morning I helped her out of bed as usual and supported her to the bathroom but on the way back she just collapsed in my arms and I lowered her to the floor. I called an ambulance and eventually there were 6 medics here but they couldn't revive her and she stopped breathing - they tried for about an hour but in the end they had to give up.
She was a wonderful and loving wife and I and all her family are going to miss her dreadfully.
I am so sorry John. when things are to be rejoiced, when things are to be grieved over , I always find the Bible a comfort. If you are a Bible reader, you might find solace here:
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they shall comfort me. Psalm 23:4
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; though hast known my soul in adversities Psalm 31:7

Thank you for your kind words, I am sure God answered my prayers in as much as she died at home with me - she would have hated having to go into hospital or a home
I'm so sorry John. Your dear wife is now free from this horrible illness and in a better place but it doesn't make it any easier for you. It must be some comfort though to know she left quickly and at home and that you were there with her.
My prayer is that you and your family will know His special peace at this sad and difficult time and that you will have more memories of the good times than the last few difficult years.
Dear John, I am really sorry to hear about your wife passing, but free at last from this terrible disease. Your now have to face the final hurdle that PSP will throw at you, learning to live without her. Please grieve in your own way and at your pace. Now is the time to care for yourself.

hUGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Dear John, please accept my heartfelt condolences. We are accustomed on this site to read that one of our number has passed away but it is a double shock when it is only after two years. It must have been a terrible shock for you, even if it spared your wife years of further suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
So sorry to hear of your lost. I know no words can express your sadness and grief. Yet God is the greatest Comforter and Healer! Take care of yourself.
Sorry to hear of your sad loss but a comfort to know she died in your arms at home. You now need time to grieve and come to terms with life without her knowing she no longer has to suffer this dreadful condition. Xxx
I am so sorry for your sad loss, it's an awful time for you and my heart goes out to you. Take comfort from the fact that your wife is no longer suffering from this horrible PSP and that she went peacefully in the arms of the man who loved her.
My husband has recently been diagnosed and I feel like I've been grieving since that day, it's so hard to watch the decline and not be able to do anything about it.
Again my thoughts and prayers are with you and I hope you find the strength to cope.....
John, Sorry for your loss. Now your caregiving days are NOT over. You must care for yourself and your family in the days ahead. Your wife was a valiant hero whose battle has ended and she is at peace. The loss will never go away and we wouldn't want it to. Jimbo
