Dad passed away peacefully at 02:15 Sept 25th. He was with family and our Priest the evening before and seemed to be very at ease. I was there at his passing and it just happened, he was breathing one moment and then he wasn't. At least he is no longer bound by a body that was failing him. The Doctor is listing Corticobasal Degeneration as the cause of death.

My deepest condolences, Ron. That is the same peaceful way Michael passed away 4 months ago. I hope you will find peace as he is. It is so difficult to go on but knowing he is now whole again is a gift.
You were a great son and support, his greatest cheerleader. I hope knowing you did your best brings you comfort.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Losing a father is a huge thing, even when all has gone well in their lives. We PSP/cbd caregivers know how complicated the feelings around a death for our loved ones, are. You were an amazing son and caregiver, and I hope that knowledge gives you comfort over the years to come of missing him.
Hi Ron, sincere condolences on your loss. I hope that you will find the strength to cope at this sad time. At least he is at peace and free from this horrible disease. I am sure that he knew how much he was loved right up to his last breath. I am sending fondest regards to you and your family.
I want to thank each and every one of you for the warm supporting posts to my family and I. Since I knew Dad's wishes well in advance just about everything was in place. A few hours on the phone was all the legal work I needed to do, now just wait for the various paperwork to catch up.
I plan on staying active on the forum hoping some of my trails and errors can be of use in helping patients and caregivers here.
I am so sorry to read of the passing of your dad. There is no more suffering for him and a peaceful end is something we all want when our time comes. My thoughts are with you and your family. Jxx
Firstly so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. The peaceful manner in which he left I hope is a comfort.
As I am at the begining of this terrible journey I can only hope when the time comes for my FIL I can be ready and accepting. Thank you for sharing and being a support to others your knowledge and understanding isso valued. Take some time for you.
Very sorry to hear you have lost your Dad but thankful it was peaceful and there is no more suffering. Pleased you are staying in touch. Look after yourself now . Love Paulinex
Bless you for all you've done for your father. He is at peace now, free from this horrid disease. Take time for yourself now, knowing you did your best for your dad. Take care of yourself.
I am so sorry for your loss, and your Dad's suffering. It is the peace which passes understanding, at the end, and I am grateful that he left you in this way. Thank you for sharing this with us.
O Ron I was so moved when I read your post and as I read through the replies from this family of friends. I just hope and pray that when it comes to my wife's passing, we will be able to know such peace. God bless you all. Love Ken.
I am sorry for you loss. These diseases are wicked but that does not change how we feel when we lose those we love under any circumstance. Let him rest in peace. xx
I am so sorry for your loss. I know there is some relief in knowing that he is no longer a prisoner to this horrible disease. I am at a Hospice house now with my dad. He is in his final stages. My prayer is that he will pass quietly and with no pain. He is all I have left of my family and I will miss him dearly but I know he will be so much better off in the arms of God.
