My darling Valerie , wife,friend,soulmate for over 60 years has passed away. She went peacefully on Saturday night - all of our children and grandchildren were with her all evening but just the two of us at the end.
If it weren't for the family I couldn't carry on - I feel so lost. How will I manage without her ? I never cry but since she went I havn't stopped - don't think I ever will.
Maybe I'll post again but I'll have to see.
Thanks to you all for your support. Love Bryan
My sincerest condolences Bryan 
Sending you lots of Love & prayers for strength & healing
Bryan
I m so sorry. I guess I can't really understand because we aren't quite there yet.
I imagine it is lonely and like a part of you missing. Deep loss.
So good that the family were there and that you both could do your goodbyes together.
These words feel so inadequate...
My heart goes out to you.
Very warmly
Kevin
I'm so sorry, Bryan. I know I felt the real meaning of the word " bereft " when Chris died. I have nothing to say that eases the pain.
I'm glad your family are there to support you.
So glad to have met you. Big hug from Jean xxx
Sincere condolences to you and your family and wishing you strength in the time to come. Ruth x
Bryan so sorry for your loss, like Kevin I can’t understand how you feel, but I can feel your pain, I can only imagine how you are feeling. May Valerie rest in peace, maybe in time you will feel able to post again, so sad for you Bryan, Yvonne xxxxx
Bryan I am so so sorry to read your post. I know what it is like to feel lost and become one ... instead of two ... unfortunately I have no words to ease your pain. My sincere condolences to you. Hugs Jxx
Dear Bryan, I am so sorry that Valerie has passed away. May she rest in peace, finally free from this evil disease.
There is only one way to do grief, that's your way, In your own time.
Sending big hug and much love
Lots of love

Sorry for your loss, I also do not know exactly how you are feeling. I have not yet arrived at that point in this dreadful journey, ...Please accept my condolences....Brenda
Dear Bryan, I'm very sorry for your loss (60 years!) And also grateful that your beloved was finally released from this evil disease. How strange to feel both things at once...
You made good friends here; We will still be here if/when you want to check back in.
Hugs to you in the meantime: XXX

So sorry to hear this, you will be in my prayers. Julie.
Sending you much love .
Allow your family to help you and support you, it sounds like they will be from your post.

So sorry to hear of your loss but Valerie is now free of this dreadful disease. You should be so proud of how you have looked after her and that you managed to keep her at home with you only seeing her deteriorate so much the last couple of weeks. Everybody is here for you. Just look after yourself and you obvioysly have a very supportive family. Love Pauline x
I'm so sorry to hear that you have lost Val.
It is an awful time, but Val is free from the evil PSP now, and she can rest in peace.
I know there isn't a great deal we can say on here to help with the grief, but if you need to talk , you know we are all here, any time.
Take all the time you need right now, and try to look after yourself.
Derek
Sincere comdolences for your loss. I know that situation too well. I lost my Liz 4 months ago. Grief has no time limit so allow yourself take as much time as you need. The tears will ease but will still suddenly appear. Let it happen. 60 years ( 49 in my case ) cannot just be erased in a few days or weeks. Try to keep the good memories uppermost in your mind. Thankfully she is no longer suffering this evil PSP. My thoughts and prayers are with you. G
Oh Bryan, I am so sorry. You must be feeling bereft but tears are natural. Please ring if you think you would like to talk. Deepest sympathy for you and your family.

Brian,
So sorry for your loss. Sincere condolences to you and your family. Val is at last free from this horrible disease. May she rest in peace. Sending hugs to you. Esther(teeker)xx
So sorry for your loss. She is at peace now and no more PSP. Sincere sympathy to you and your family. Joyce from Minnesota USA.
I know all these kind words are meaningless right now,they go in one ear and out the other.I lost my beloved Don last July so I know what you are facing.Kevin hit the nail on the head when he said it feels like a part of you is gone.True!
You have my sincere condolences and to me the best advice I can give is the same as it was being a caregiver-take one day at a time.
Dear Bryan, so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear wife, I can feel your pain through the emotional words you have posted. Her final hours were peaceful and surrounded by the people she loved, it's what we all wish for at the end of our lives. Let the tears flow, they contain lots of hormones that you need to release the powerful emotions you are feeling. I also am not able to shed tears and sometimes long to release my emotions but it can't be forced can it!
Take very good care of yourself Bryan, it is good to hear you have a very supportive family to help you through this tough time and beyond. Maybe we will hear how you are coping with the new phase in your life.
Sending my warmest wishes
Love Kate xxx
My condolences to you and your family. I was my sister's caregiver for many years, and she passed three weeks ago. There is a huge void in my life, but with peace and calm comes healing. Or vice versa. I miss her every day. Take each day slowly....baby steps with healing and grieving and crying is essential to the healing...we wouldn't be human if we did not cry.
So sorry for your loss. May you take comfort in the fact that she is now free of pain and PSP. Love and light.
So sorry to here your sad news thinking of you all x x x
Thinking of you Bryan, I am just waiting for the same ending for my hubby Leon. It is such a horrid illness, sincerely thinking of you, one step at a time. Hugs
Bryan so very sorry to hear this sad news. At least Valerie is free of PSP now? God Bless and take care. We are always here for you.

Like you Bryan, I lost my soulmate recently. Lots of comments here, all good and some coming from knowing what it is like and where you are at.
United in grief I'm sending you a big hug and a prayer that the memories of the happy times you had together will help you through this dark time.
Oh, and don't forget, crying is OK! X
I am so very sorry. I can only imagine how you must be feeling. Thinking of you. X
gone but not forgotten
My beautiful momma is gone
I think my Mom has PSP
