My darling husband died this afternoon. He was in the hospice and although I desperately wanted him home he was in the best place as he had constant attention and the palliative drugs as needed. I’m so sad but glad he’s free of this vile disease. Thank you all for your huge support and fund of information. I pray this illness will be eradicated. John has donated his brain and I hope that will help. Vron xxx

I'm sorry for the ache that goes with the death of a loved one, but happy for him and for you that he is no longer suffering.

The ache goes on, but fortunately with time, becomes less acute. JOY, that good memories bring, fills the pain of loss.

I so wished that I had donated my son's brain.....but forgive myself that both time and needs of PSP took it off my radar. Not to take away my part of the responsibility I do wish his neurologist(s) had mentioned it and provided some assistance on who to contact. Now I know the source is CurePSP.

It brings me comfort that you donated your husband's brain to research.

Blessings, Margarita (Los Angeles, CA, USA)

Vron I am so sad for you. John is now free of PSP and in a better place. He seems to have had excellent care too so you did your best for him. Nobody can do more than that?

I am glad you were able to donate his brain too as every time someone does that it takes us nearer a cure?

God bless you and family Vron.

Dear Vron, I am so sorry you have lost your John. Mine continues to struggle against PSP. He too has decided to donate his brain for research, it's the only way to reach a definitive diagnosis which then can be tied up with all the horrible symptoms.

I wish you all the best in the next stage of your life. My love and best wishes go with you.

I'm so sorry for your loss Vron. My dad died three weeks ago, and he was in hospice too. We wanted him to pass at home, but we now realise that we couldn't have managed without their expertise, so that does bring some comfort. The last few weeks have been surreal. Sending you strength for the days ahead. Sarah x

Sorry for your loss, hugs sent your way. The only way I'm getting through my loss is looking at 2018 as a new beginning for me. I know it'll will be hard, but we've been the best caregivers we could and now we need to start taking are of ourselves. One baby step at a time in between the tears.

VronB,

I am so sorry for your loss. 2017 was so unkind to you and your family. I send my deepest condolences to you. Please take care of yourself. Your recent losses have been extraordinary. And good for you for donating John's brain. That is a smart and unselfish act.

Wishing you a much better 2018,

Warm Regards,

Dick

Thank you. It’s very hard at the moment but I’m praying John’s brain will help beat this vile disease. His neurologist tells me that because they have so many scans etc his brain should be really helpful in tracking the progress of the degeneration. X
