Oh Pat, how awful for you! Sending the biggest virtual hug that I can . Thinking of you and Keith in my prayers. You have shown great love and now Keith is free from PSP. May he rest in peace. I hope that you will find some consolation in the happy memories that you both shared and knowing that you cared for him to the bitter end. X
Pat so sorry to hear your news - perhaps you can think Keith has won his battle by leaving PSP behind.
love Georgepa
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, there's nothing I can say that will make you feel better, but sending you lots of love and thinking of you, I hope you have family/friends around. It leaves a hole in your life beyond belief, all the sh** of PSP doesn't prepare you for the end
Lots of love

Oh Pat I am so sorry, I just can't believe it, so many have passed away, feeling so sad for you, you are an amazing lady, I agree with George, Keith has won his battle by leaving this horrible illness behind. Sending you a big hug. Yvonne xxxxx
I like this too. It will help me too when I think of my Bill gone almost 7 months now.
Patricia
Such a concise post to express such a devastating loss. That usually expresses such a very deep felt loss.
We wait our time here for the same.
With tears in my eyes I wish you a passage through this, the journey I have yet to make.
Hugs

So sorry, Pat, for the deep loss you are experiencing. Sending thoughts and prayers your way, and will keep you in my thoughts in the days to come.
Sorry for your loss - my thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time x sophiejo
So very sorry!
Oh Pat, I am so sorry. I have been thinking of you a lot in the last few days fearful of hearing this news. There is nothing I can say which will lessen your sorrow but I hope you can somehow find strength and peace in the next few days. Try to celebrate the 47 years even though you won't have Keith with you on your anniversary.
With love

So sorry. He is still with you in your heart. Now you can remember him before this horrid disease. Hugs your way for all you'll be dealing with.
Dear Pat, my lovely friend, I am so sorry, I am so glad I got to meet Keith yesterday, my heart breaks for you all xxx
Dear Pat, I'm so sorry you have lost your darling husband and especially as its your wedding anniversary tomorrow. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and sending all my love to you and the family. Nanny857xx
Oh Pat! So sorry to hear that! But glad to hear for both your sakes that the fight against PSP is over.
Take time to enjoy a reflection of the happy times together tomorrow. I found it was something good to look back on our 50 years, even tho my love was obviously about to leave me.
I raise a glass to you both, for your love, your fortitude, and a hope for peace in the future.
Don't feel guilty! Now is the time to celebrate Keith's life! And later to get on with life - with him beside you in spirit!
You are in my prayers.
Sending you a big H U G !
Love

Patricia, I can only imagine your desolation. The road seems long while you are fighting, and then the end comes with a shocking suddenness. You have fought so hard, and been through a terrible ordeal. I hope you can find comfort in memories of those 46 years, and in the living legacy of your beautiful grandchildren. Peace and hugs, ec
I'm so sorry to hear the loss of Keith .May care and love of those around you provide comfort and peace to get you through the days ahead. My most sincere condolences.
I am really really sorry and sad for your lost, especially right before your anniversary. May you find comfort and peace that your dear one is no longer struggling! Hold on and treasure all the great memories. I am learning to do so myself.
Take care,
Maryam
Pat you are in my thoughts and prayers. Take comfort in the fact that his journey is now Three steps to heven. And your journey will now be one of many paths as you come to terms with your new way of life. Jane xx
My prayers are with you.
So sorry Pat for your loss thinking of you 💕
Dear Pat, I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. I know you were trying to prepare yourself for him passing but it still doesn't ease the pain, just be glad for Keith that he no longer has to endure the suffering that PSP brings. Thinking of you and the family, be kind to yourself Pat.
Love and hugs Kate xx

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear husband. There are no words that can ease your pain at the moment. I only hope that you are surrounded by family and friends to help you through at this time. Take care of yourself now. Xx
V sad news much love to you xx
So very sorry Patricia. You have done your very very best for Keith. You obviously loved each other so much xxxx
Sorry for your loss but maybe this was his gift to you, he set you free and you know you did everything you could for him. Take a glass on your anniversary and salute him to all those years , wishing you all the very best xxx
So sorry. Xx
Dearest Pat, I am so sorry that Keith has passed away, may he rest in peace, finally free from this evil, evil illness.
The numb you are feeling is good, that will carry you along for quite a while. I am still feeling it now.
Sending you and your family a huge hug and much love.
Lots of love
Anne
Many condolences may he rest in peace released from PSP. Time is now for grief but also for you to recover your own life (slowly).
Best wishes and good luck to you Tim
Dear Pat,

So sorry to hear of your dear Keith's demise. I am a religious person and I believe that God is good when he takes our loved ones away from this horridness to peace and comfort. God bless you and help you through the start of your new life by yourself. Marie
May he rest in peace....
My heart goes out to you. I know it will never be ok. So many people tell me there will be better days but we all know we will never be the same. PSP robs us of our loves and life.
I am praying for you and thank you for all your lovely missives. He is in God's hands now
Love

I am so sorry this has happened. Take strength from knowing you cared for him to the best of your ability right to the end. You are in my thoughts.
I am so very sorry for your loss. xx
So sorry , Pat. Nothing really prepares you, I know. At last he is free of PSP - and so are you - and you have so many memories of your life together.
Your family will support you, I know but it is hard to be without your love.
Big hug from Jean xx
So sorry for your loss. x
Sending love & prayers to you X
Dearest Pat I am so sad for you. We knew this would happen but it doesn't make it any easier? Please raise a glass tomorrow to your beloved Keith. I know how much you loved him and he will be watching over you tomorrow and for a long time. I am convinced of that. So raise a glass to a brave man who loved you so much too. Your 46 years were good ones. There are lots of people who can't say that sadly. You are not one of them and neither was Keith. The awful PSP has now gone. Just like Anne's Steve, Keith deprived it of deciding his end. He won Patricia! He is free of it. One day you will both be together again. He will wait for you. How could he not? You can hold his hand and celebrate properly that you are together again.
Much love to you Pat. Take care and keep in touch with your friends here. We are all so very fond of you and will still be here for you.

I am so sorry to read this news, but as somebody else said: think of the good times you had together, the bad memories will slowly fade, like everyone who remembers his childhood, you only think of the sunshine, never of the rainy days, and besides, to know that your love has left his illness and I'm sure is in a better world, will console you. Pue string and look forward to the sunny side of the road, I will pray for you...
Xxx, Anne
I'm so very sorry, dear Pat. Sending you a warm big hug. We have lost so many this winter.
Lieve xxc
You know a medical person just shared this with me. For those of us women who are mothers and losing our husbands to this horrific disease, we carry our husbands DNA. I did not know that. His DNA passes to our children in our wombs and thus back to us. So you see when they say we will always have him in our hearts that is actually true. That was a comfort to me. I hope it is to all of you.
I am so sorry for your loss. 46 years held many wonderful memories for you to cherish, but you already know that. Celebrate those years in what ever way makes you feel happy or sad. xo
Oh dear Pat, Keith is now free from this wretched illness, free to run and jump and sing. Take comfort in his release.
Sending big hugs,
Michele xxx
Oh Pat, I am so sorry for your loss. Keith is now free and as time passes, you will be also, free to start a new chapter.
Sending you lots of love and prayers and a big hug.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Please remember to eat, keep your head up. Continue to post it helps.
Dear Pat I just read this and I am sending you rather belated condolences. Someone here said it truly; you expect it to happen, you are as prepared as you can be and yet it's a shock...you can't believe it . emptiness is what I feel when I put B to bed or even when I look at this slowly convoluting man. I can only imagine how much harder when he really isn't there. I pray that you find some solace and peace and comfort. You did everything to make his life a little more comfortable now it's time to do the same for your own self. Many of our friends here on this site have recently lost their loved ones....so there are plenty of shoulders to cry on....May these next days weeks months be filled with love and memories and joy that get you to the next phase of your life
with much love
