Mum passed away at 1.52 am today, she's free from this dreadful disease, we love you Mum ,you will be very much missed xx
At peace now: Mum passed away at 1.52 am... - PSP Association
At peace now
Am so sorry to hear you have lost your mum to PSP such a short time after diagnosis. She is now free of pain and suffering and flying with the angels.
This must have been a frantic year for you all. No one expects such a dramatic deterioration after a knee operation.
I hope this site has been of help to you along the journey. Getting your mum to a neurologist who understood the symptoms must have been a relief, although not what you wanted to hear. It did prepare you for what has followed and must have given you satisfaction that you knew something unusual was wrong, and found someone who knew what that was.
I hope that you will be able to celebrate her life with the family and then settle down to relax and remember her as she was, rather than the PSP.
I had a similar journey with my husband who was diagnosed with CBD 3 months before he died. I thought ours was a fast progression!
I remember the relief at finding a doctor who could explain the symptoms I could see, and that I had been right to keep looking for answers.
Now a time for some peace and reflection!
((BIG HUG))

Thank you Jen for your kind words, I Now understand from reading so many heart breaking stories about psp that we actually got off lightly, only going through this cruel illness for such a short time, even though it was all a shocking nightmare, how can you become so I'll in such a short time, thank goodness it's over for my Mum, there's no happy endings for anyone, but when they pass away it's such a blessing it's finally over and they have peace, sending love and hugs, Julie xx
Yes. You are right! It is relatively easy to put our own lives on hold when we are pretty sure it will not be long. I could see my lovely husband deteriorating week by week, then day by day. It all seems like a nightmare now.
I am still watching and contributing here because it has helped me heal. I hope I have been able to help others by my experience and observations.
This site was a godsend to me and the knowledge here of how to recognize and deal with PSP and CBD has grown heaps while I have been involved.
Sadly, the number of people who find us seems to be endless and ever increasing!
My heart goes out to you all!
Hugs to you all!

It's so very helpful reading and understanding what so many people are going through in there lives, exchanging stories about there journey with psp and cbd, helping one another along the way, keep up the good work Jen, sending lots of hugs to you and your family Julie xx
I’m so sorry for the loss of your mum. It does make one wonder if anesthesia is behind this dreadful disease in some way. Especially if your mum was in good health before her knee surgery. There have been folks on this site, myself included, who have questioned previous operations that seemed to have set PSP/CBD in motion. I hope one day that scientists will figure this all out. Enjoy the memories of your mum and celebrate her life. I’m sure that’s what she would want. May she Rest In Peace!

So sorry for your loss. May your Mum Rest in Peace and your family remember the good times together. Take care of yourself, I imagine that this has been quite a shock from the knee op to today.
Thinking of you and your family.

Hi jimjam
So sorry for your loss. We too lost dad only two weeks ago so understand exactly where you are at this point. Freedom from suffering but oh would give anything for just a little bit longer with them too.
Take comfort they are no longer suffering from this evil illness and mum is finally at peace
Be strong over the coming days. Take pride that you did all you could to makes mums life as comfortable as you could and take comfort from those around you when you can
Big hugs and love
Caz 💕

Please take time to rest a while now. You have watched over your mum with love

I'm am very sorry to hear of your loss.
I imagine you are feeling many conflicting emotions.
Your grief is normal and natural.
I hope you have someone you can talk to about how you are feeling.

Thank you for your kind words, I'm keeping myself busy, I think I'm in the calm after the storm stage, I'm sure there will be many stages, over the next few weeks, my mum was very much into the after life, often attending spiritualist church on many occasions, so I keep looking for signs that she ok and now with my dad, sending much needed hugs to you, your mum and your family xx
