Hi my wife of 44 years lost her battle today with PSP. I do not post very often I want to thank all the people who post on health lock.com . You have given a lot of valuable information on the disease and I followed it as my wife took her journey through PSP. Again thank you

Dear Fjrose:

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. And now you have a whole other journey to get through. There are more experienced members here than I, who will share what you're going through. One of the things I respect about these members is that they have lost their loved one and still stay connected to this site: I think of them as the "Tribal Elders" or the "Professors Emeritus" of our community. We are so fortunate to have them stay with us.

Bless you and best wishes for your healing. xxx

Fjrose2 I am so very sorry to hear your sad news. It is so difficult to lose the one you love. Especially to one of these progressive conditions.

Now you start another journey. It is just as difficult and very odd. Some of us are still travelling that road. So please stay in contact as there are a few of us who are still finding our way.

God bless and take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost your wife. I hope you will be able to take some comfort in the knowledge that she is now free of PSP.

You will have given her so much of your energy while caring for her, and now you need to rest and look after yourself for a while.

So sorry for your loss Fjrose. Your wife is free from psp once more. I only lost mum last month. After a whirlwind month of paperwork and decisions and funeral planning only now that it is quietened down has the full force really hit.

I wish you much love and support on your journey.

Love and hugs

A big hug.

You have my sympathy , I've been on this same journey since Nov. 25, 2017. I think I was in shock the first month or so. Now I'm crying more than ever. I know it will take time to go through this grief and I find myself praying all the time to help me get through another day. Thank goodness for this group as it's the only people I can talk to on some days/weeks. Things are so different and nobody understand except the people on site!

Hugs sent your way, Rose

Sorry to hear your sad news, be thankful that your dear wife will no longer have to endure the terrible symptoms of this terrible disease. Take time to grieve and be kind to yourself as you try to get your life back together. It seems that some people take longer than others to grieve and you should do it at your own pace, we are all different in the way we cope. Sending much love

I am so sorry that you have lost your wife. I lost my husband a year and a half ago. Just so you know I still can’t understand why he is not here. I am so very grateful that he is no longer suffering as PSP is a horrific disease but I just don’t understand why he is not here with me! Then I remember and I say “ oh yes, he is in heaven”. But without me hmmmmm! I guess that’s the way it will be. I wanted you to know that you will miss her forever but you will at the same time be grateful she is no longer suffering. You will always wonder where she is...... then you will remember......and you take comfort somewhat in that.

God bless

Peace to you. It’s been 2 & 1/4 Years now and I miss my husband everyday. It does, for me, “dilute” a bit with time. Take your time and remember the good times. 🙏🏻

Thinking of you, may she be at peace now, it is a horrid illness, especially for us carers/partners, to watch them go through.

cheers Marg
