My dad is finally at peace after suffering from this awful disease over the last 11 years. I think he waited for my mum to go home before he passed away. I’m hoping that the image of his last breath will leave my memory and the wonderful memories of my dad will take that place soon.
Thank you to this group for all the answers to my questions over the years and for your posts that have helped me.

So sorry for your loss. Please do find comfort for him and for you that he had you there at the end. It is hard to watch someone pass, I know, but sadly part of life’s rich pattern.
Time now to remember the good times pre illness. Sending love xx
Completely understand how you are feeling right now. Words at this time can often feel so empty but from my experience the good memories will fill your thoughts when the time is right and that's what you need to head for, again when you are ready. Try to think of his last breath as his release from this awful disease. I hope it helps you to know that the folks on this site totally get it even though we can't change anything.
Best wishes to you and your family at a time that is so very difficult.
Feel for you. Unless you have witnessed this terrible illness no one has a clue how dibilitating it is. My sister suffered but never complained. My heart goes out to you xxx
So so sorry for your loss. We have also been with our dad as he passed last week too. Totally walking almost hand in hand with you on the roller coaster path. Take comfort he’s free of pain. You were there at the end and he knew he was loved and cared for by you and your mum
The good memories will return. It’s only been two weeks for us since dad passed and already people visiting talk of a particular memory and it’s slowly but surely replacing that picture in my head of dad’s final breath
Take the time now to grieve and you’ll start the journey for us all that is ‘after PSP’
my thoughts are with you and your family. 11 years is a very long time but you will be proud and get comfort in that you were with him for his whole journey. I hope the happy memories thay made you want to be with him come flooding back, and you have some laughs in amongst the tears xx
My sincere condolences on your loss. Hold him in your heart and he will walk beside you for ever. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 💔🙏
Sorry to hear that you lost your Dad after an 11 yr struggle with this disease. He is in a better place now away from the suffering. I'm sure in time you will remember him before his illness. Xxx
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Let time help you heal and recover from 11 years of loving caregiving. Be kind to yourself and let the happy memories return. May you find joy in the days ahead as you Dads suffering is over.
I lost my precious husband to PSP early this Friday morning. He fought for 10 years and was the bravest person I know. He never complained. He was a helicopter pilot during the Viet Nam war. I also have the vision of his last struggling breaths in my mind. I hope that both you and I will heal and remember all the wonderful times.
I don’t think you ever get over missing the presence of someone you love. But time gives you sweet memories of their gifts and knowing life is short brings it’s own gift. Here’s to your journey, may you be able to notice the beauty surrounding your life as you can.
My sincere condolences to you in the loss of your father. Free at last, but a heartsore loss of this important and dear man in your life. Hugs to you Melhukin XXX
So very sorry for your loss. One day when you look back on this journey, your tears will be replaced with smiles as you look back on the wonderful memories you have.
The disease takes away our loved ones ability to find words sometimes and this is where I go when I hear that someone else has succumbed to this wretched disease. I’m really sorry for your loss and I wish I could word it better than that. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
