Hi all
Last night Archie finally gave in to this illness and so what a journey this has been I’ve had brilliant help with the carers and who has been helping throughout this last week I can safety say that I feel so relieved and exhausted but I will now get some rest
I thank you all for the advice and the support that you have given me over the time
Love hugs and kisses
To all
Sue xx
Dear Sue,
So sorry for your loss. Sincere condolences to you. At least now Archie is PSP free. He is in a happy and pain free place. May he rest in peace. May God grant you the comfort and strength to cope in the coming days. Sending you lots of hugs and love. Esther(Teeker)xxxx
Oh Sue so sad and so sorry for your loss, he is in a much better place away from the horrible illness. Sending you a big hug. Yvonnexxxxx
Hi Yvonne

Hugs sue xx
Sue we are ok, going through some horrible changes. Big hugs to you xxxx
Dear Yvonne,
We are going through changes as well. Won't open his eyes hardly at all but he's stable once again and I enjoy each moment with him.
Love you,
Cuttercat
Don’t you just hate these changes I am so tired xxxx love you too xxxxx
Oh Sue I am so sad for you. You have been a great carer and fighter for Archie all along the way. You must be so worn out? Archie is safe now and at peace. God bless him. It's time to take care of yourself sweetheart but you have so many friends on the site remember? There is still a battle ahead for you alone.
Please stay in touch with us all as you are such a valuable member of the site with lots of knowledge and we care about you.
Big hugs and lots of love to you.

Dear Sue, so sorry to hear that Archie has passed away. May he rest in peace, finally free from this evil disease.
I know what you mean about being relieved, it's so, so very hard watching your partner suffer so much and nobody being able to do anything.
Please make sure you get that rest you talk about. Recovering from what you have been through will take a while, plus grief is very exhausting. There is only one way to do this grief, that's your way. Nothing has to be done today, that can't easily be done tomorrow.
We are still all here for you in the dark days and months ahead
Sending big hug and much love
Lots of love
Anne
From one Sue to another,
My deepest sympathy to you. I'm sorry to read this but as we all say when we go through this, it is an end to all the suffering that our loved ones have gone through. Look after yourself.
Love Sue x
I am so so sorry. He is now at peace and you can get some well needed rest from the physical and mental stress you have had to deal with. Hope you stay. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family xxxxx
Dear Sue I’m so very sorry but at the same time pleased that Archie is now free of this evil disease.
Sending much love to you my darling x
Hi Amanda
I am pleased too that he has passed .Sounds awful but he didn’t deserve this crap like many others who has it .I have had some great advice on here and I thank you all for it .I am going to to take my chimney off my head as the steam has all been let out
Hope in you and yours are ok
Love kisses and hugs
Sue xx
Sue, it doesn’t sound awful at all!! I’d feel exactly the same, I know I would!! Huge hugs x
I know exactly (as do most of us here) where you are coming from, it is such a strain, watching and waiting for the inevitable. It certainly does not sound awful at all, a relief for you and for for Archie too. As much as we do not want to lose a loved one, when you watch and wait it is so so hard Hugs and love
My sincere sympathy to you Sue for this final loss. May Archie rest in peace. PSP/CBD robs us of so much. Its time to claim your life back.
Hugs to you for this grieving time. XXX

I am so sorry to read of your loss Sue. This dreadful illness takes everything bit by bit from our loved ones and having to watch this deterioration just rips at your heart. It is now time to take care of yourself and face adjustment along another road which has challenges but take it all a step at a time. A big hug for you. Jxx
Very sorry for your loss there has been so many lost there battle lately with this dreadful disease. It sounds as though you were fortunate in being able to keep him at home. Just look after yourself now xx
Thank you I was unfortunately one of the lucky one to have 24 carers
Hug sue xx
Sorry for your loss. Will be thinking about you....Brenda. ..
A big hug.

Dear Sue, I sit alone here reading that you have lost Archie and know the pain yet relief that you are feeling. Ben passed away two weeks ago and his Farewell Tribute isn't until until a week on Tuesday. You have to do the necessary arrangements, reporting his death to the various agencies etc when it's the last thing on earth that you want to be doing. I had my sisters with me for two weeks after he died and they took over all the domestic roles but now it's just me with my children and grandchildren two hundred miles away. I hope that you have family and friends nearby to help you through this, for me I think it will take time to get myself out there away from the bubble we lived in for the past three years, it somehow feels cosy and secure there. I do hope that you get some solace from the fact that you cared and nurtured for Archie making him feel loved.
Sending my love a warmest wishes Sue
Love Kate xxx
Hi Katie
Thank you for your words .at the moment my grandson is here and others are in and out
When things slowly get back to some normality and nobody here I can get up and go out that door and go visiting without knowing they’d no worries at home but 1st I’m going to get some much deserved sleep
Sue xx hugs
I hope sleep comes easily Sue, mine is all over the place.

Dear Sue
Sorry to hear of Archie passing away,to look after a psp patient is the most challenging job one has to do, you can be proud of yourself for doing it, you now have to recharge your life,it won't be easy,but with friends and family you will make it,all the best to you xx Peter and Kathy
I am so sorry. Thinking about you. Take care xxx
You have been grieving for three years as you anticipated this time. Now it is time to adjust to life as a non-caregiver. May your transition be filled with memories of healthy days goneby, friends’ and family’s support and encouragement, and lots of rest!

Sincere condolences to you Sue.Life will be different now and you will take it one day at a time.As you said the first thing is to get some much needed rest You will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come. Janet
Sue,
So sorry to hear. It sounds like you're completely wiped out, and no wonder. Hope you are still getting help with everything.
Dear Sue,
On this dreary day I read this and cried, but.............your post was so lovely, like you and it made me calm.
This journey is heartbreaking but the suffering is such that you want it over for them. Archie is free now.
Please know I've been praying and thinking of you all day and will continue to. Bless you!!

Dear Sue.
So sad for you but your attitude to this will probably help you. I could never accept that Valerie would go and when she did it hit me really hard.
It's been 9 weeks now and I'm still crying - not all the time but every now and again when something triggers it - like your news about Archie.
Coming from me this is a bit ironic but we must accept our loss and lead a new , different life. It's what our loved ones would have wanted.
This weekend will be a really emotional one as we are scattering Valerie's ashes where she asked - from a speedboat off the coast of Cornwall at Padstow !!!!
Love and hugs Bryan
That sounds like a beautiful way to give her ashes back to nature, Bryan 
I hope it is a lovely day and creates a beautiful (if heart wrenching) memory XX
Anne G.
So sorry for your loss. I am relieved to hear you have had good support. Take care of yourself as you embark on this new path
Sending love and hugs

Sorry to be slow Sue
You were a seriously good carer. You are a great contributor here too. No-one could have asked for more.
I am sorry for your loss.

Thank you Kevin I’ve had 2 days to recharge with it being bank holiday and now start to organise things it will be a bit strange going out cause I’ve not been out in 6 weeks but have my grandson with me at the minute
Hope you and Liz is ok
Sending hugs and kisses to you both
Sue xx
Hi Sue
Yes, it can get odd, going out after staying in for so long.
I hope the organising goes smoothly.
Liz is OK... she can still swallow. That is the cliff edge for us now. Misery.
Your loss and some others recently prompted me to write that post.
Thinking of you and Archie.
Warmly
Kevin

My thoughts are with you, another journey for you all in some ways as hard. Give him a good send off, i found the funeral healing, seeing so many people who had loved rog.
Be kind to yourself, I had no idea grief was such a physical pain, buf now you need to rest.
Another star in the sky

Bit late on this, Sue as I have been away.
Sorry for your loss and I understand the mix of despair and relief. Its been a long road and you are exhausted.
I know its really strange to have " freedom " back and suddenly not want it or know what to do with it !!!
I know I felt so tired for ages. Still in a bit of a bubble.
Thinking of you. Lots of love from Jean xx
Sending loads of love and cuddles from Barry and Kim Allan. Rest in peace Archie xxxx
this is "gonnaMissDaddy", he's gone, he's really gone
Mums gone!
