You are my sunshine my only sunshine you make me happy when times are grey. You'll never know dear how much I love you... please don't take my sunshine away...
My dear husband took his last few breaths Friday in the sunshine. Then a cloud passed overhead and he was gone.

Thank you heady. I am at a total loss. I do not know what to do with myself. I want to just pull the covers over my head and cry. Ironic I can do anything now and I do not want to do anything.
Dearest Goldcap, if you want to pull the covers over your head and cry, what is stopping you? Like you say, you can do anything now, so what's wrong in grieving for you husband, in the way you want to? Don't let others or protocol, dictate what you do, especially at the moment. Grief is a very personal thing, it has to be done and it has to be done the way that suits you!!!
Please know I am there for you , even though the miles and sea separate us. You and me go back a long way now, you were probably one of the first I got to know the name of on this site. With your help, I got through that first frightening stage and over the years I have always looked out for your responses. I am still here for you, the same as the rest of our wonderful family.
Sending as much strength as I can to you across the ether.
Goldcap sending you a big hug, so sad, but at least he is in a better place away from this horrible PSP. As Heady says grieve in your own way. Yvonne xxxxx
So sorry to hear of your loss, as Heady says pull the covers over your head and cry as much as you want, a brave face won't help anyone, least of all you
So sorry to hear the sad news Goldcap, even when you are expecting the inevitable the pain is just as difficult to bare. As the others have said, pull the covers over your head, cry and cry, let all of the pent up emotions flow out. I do hope you take time to grieve in your own way and don't be pressurised by others to speed the process, it is important for you to take time to go through the process until you get to tbe stage where you remember the good times you both had together.
Oh goldcap I'm so sorry, even though we feel like we are already grieving through this nightmare when this eventually happens you can't explain the loss and real grief you feel, I'm thinking of you and send you a loving hug....
I am so sorry for your loss...but on the other hand, when I pass over, sitting in the warm California sun being held by the one I love, that is the way to go. Your husband got it right. Suffering is over. Peace. Stay in touch. please.
I was singing that song to my guy Friday morning, as I often do. Oh Jayne. I am sorry. You have lost so much. I wish I could hug you and then bar the door so you could cry undisturbed. Rest, my dear. And hang on. You have so many friends you have never met, and we are all thinking of you. Love, ec
Bless your heart. Your pic is SO touching and dear. Grief is the hardest thing in the entire world in my opinion. Ohh I know it's true, those who've departed after a devastating illness are in a much better place and no longer suffering but nothing has ever splayed me out like grief and I've endured some hard stuff in my life. The good news is, it really will get better with your friend- Time, and the love and care of those close to you. No matter what, always remember this one thing: remember what your dearest hubby would want for you, his beloved wife. He'd want you to be happy and healthy and to carry on because that is LOVE. I'm so very sorry for your loss and grief, from another American haha, (we're rare on this forum,) here on the East coast, saying a prayer for you, truly, Sheila
I'm not a writer and don't often post but I watch always. But I had to say how your post touched me. Such an appropriate song and one of our favourites too. Now he's free of suffering the sunshine you shared over your lifetime together will be your comfort. Virtual hugs from me
So sorry for your loss but it sounds like his passing was beautiful. My mum died yesterday morning after huge fight that went on for 8 days. Just horrific.
So sorry to hear of your sad loss. A lovely photo to look back on and remember the good times. Grieve the way you want and not how others dictate. God bless. Marie
so sorry to hear of this - i cried for my dad the day he passed away and a bit the next day only... it affects everyone differently - i read somewhere that we mourn the loss of our loved ones when they are alive - when they pass away, there is a mixed feeling of the inevitable loss but peace that they are not suffering anymore
I'm so sorry about your loss. It's always so sad to see these posts. We're all in the same boat. I hope you can now find some peace knowing that your husband is finally at peace, the suffering is over. Take care of yourself. Xx
Oh my what a beautiful song and picture!!! My Bill left me 3 months ago much the same way. A musical therapist had come to sing to him the night before he died. At 6 am he took 2 quiet breaths and he was gone too. I turned to look out the window and turned back and I am sure the angels came and took his soul to the Lord!!! I am weeping for your husband and my Bill now. Weeping so hard again. You did so much for him. All that was possible. God love you now. Your husband is finally resting. Finally.......
Resting..........The Lord be with you also. Many prayers.
Dear Goldcap I just read your post and its....Tuesday...I am so sorry . You are quite a striking couple, even with the effects of PSP weighing heavy on your husband.
I do hope you are able to manage these next few days, weeks of transition . I cannot imagine this will be easy ....but remember we are hear for you. God bless you on your new journey.
