Early 3 am of March 25, 2019, after 8 days of being confined in the hospital, Mom, finally put an end to all her sufferings and pain..
We stood by her and watched her until her last breath, I can say it was a beautiful and peaceful death for her. We we're able to say our goodbyes and all the things that we wanted to say to her. Until the end she showed us how brave she is, she died peacefully. We all feel the relief, not seeing her suffer anymore, but also pain because we are all gonna miss her.

I know the end was inevitable, but you must be so relieved her battle is at an end. It has all sounded so distressing for all to watch! Now her battle with PSP is at an end.
You must have very mixed feelings! You did everything you could for your MIL while she was so sick and now it is time to sit back and remember the good times. You must have had a good relationship with her to stay so close to her.
Our thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.
Thank you Jen, she is indeed I can say, I got the best mother in law in the world, she is so kind and gentle, she always smiles, all she care is to take care of her family. She doesnt even wanna show us even if she is in pain. Yeah, I am close to her even before I got married to her son, she is like an older best friend whenever me and my husband has arguments, i always ran to her and confide, now I miss her, we all are.
So sad to hear she has left you. However she needed to go? She will watch over you now. She put up a good fight and you have been a wonderful Daughter-in-law. God bless you and family now as you come to terms with all of this.
I am so sorry for your loss. Reading your posts really show what a wonderful lady your MIL was and it shows how much you all loved her. She is now free from this insidious disease and her suffering is over. Take comfort in that, and in knowing that you all did everything you could for her. She left knowing that she was loved. I hope I can say the same some day.
Dear Dickwin, how are you and your wife doing? Your last post was a positive/negative. The POSITIVE was that it "appeared" that your wife's progression was slower, and it was being attributed to the Biogen infusion Study she was on, indications that she was on the "REAL STUFF" and not the placebo.
I realize that these trials, even when on the "real stuff", take much more time than a year to really see positive results (thinking of the trial for Parkinson's...GDNF....where positive results came after the expected target by the study designer and Pfizer's decision was to pull out). How went the surgery on the gall bladder for your wife?
I leave in three days to fly to Portland, Oregon, to spend my son's birthday with his sister.
Sad to note that your Mother-in-law passed on to her new world!
My wife has PSP of 4 years age. Have not seen her in any sort of pain or suffering! PSP makes changes in the brain and makes the victim oblivious of happenings around her. Short term memory is affected, but my wife's long term memory is as sharp as ever! All the sufferings and pain are inflicted on her loved ones /caregivers. Your Mother-in-law wanted to relieve them and took the decision she did. RIP!
at peace now from this awful psp, does make you feel this relief that their suffering is over and slso this guilt for feeling that,all in all they are now in a better place than for the past 6 years and maybe even before that xx
My thoughts are with you and your sweet mother in law who is now not struggling anymore. We will continue to struggle and fight PSP all the way. It’s a terrible disease
I feel your incredible hearts and I bow to you all for surfing the waves of love and loss in such a sincere and caring manner. My heartfelt condoleances
So sorry Erza to hear of your mom's passing...but I know the relief you also must feel...I watch my sister deteriorate every week and dread what is ahead...sending hugs to comfort you💟

We lost my dearest mother in law on Monday.
My Mum has just been diagnosed with PSP
My wife has PSP and there may not be a cure for PSP, but there is a drug that slows the progression
PSP: To do what's medically recommended or respect my mother's wishes? Advice needed.
