I have not posted for some time. Unfortunately my husband Edward Hunter, who had progressive supranuclear palsy passed away on the 22 July 2019. He is at peace now out of his suffering.

Thank you. We made our 50 anniversary on 14 June. It was as if he held on for our celebrations with our neighbours. Then 5 weeks later he passed away. He was a brilliant husband, father and grandfather.

Sorry to hear of your loss but glad that he is not suffering anymore. My husband has PSP and is in care permanently. It may seem indelicate but how bad were his symptoms towards the end. I am terrified of how this is going to go. XX

It is very hard to say really. He seemed to get one illness after another which escalated is passing. I cared for him at home. The doctors, district nurses were brilliant . As was the carers who came in four time a day. Only for 21 days then he passed away. I think it was the streptococcus throat that started things then. Then all went downhill from then. He never complained about anything, just suffered this illness. I think to help me cope. The main thing I feel is you have to be positive all the time and make everything as normal you can. I think this made a massive difference. He seemed happy to the end smothered in my love for him. And his for me.
Be strong, most of all take care of yourself as you need your strength and energy to help him. Best wishes
Hi, I’m sorry you are going thru this. Towards the end my aunts appetite changed.. started to eat less, stopped eating foods she liked, her taste changed.. slowly solid food was not wanted just liquids, then that subsided.. and her moaning became very weak sounding ..

What a very special day that must have been Jeanie, despite the underlying sadness, to have celebrated 50 years together, such a testament of the love you held for each other and I have no doubt a love you will always hold for your darling husband. Wishing you the love and support of good family and friends as you negotiate the ups and downs of life without Edward. People talk about good memories sustaining us, they really do once we are ready to take a diversion on that seemingly endless road of grief and take that walk down memory lane. Hils. xx

Yes it was a special day. He did respond well to all our friends he had around him. We do have wonderful memories being together for 56years, 50 years married we have two wonderful children who supported us so well. And we had a wonderful celebration of his life after his cremation. Relatives came from all over the country to pay their respects. It too was a special day. Thank you for you kind words.
Hi Jeanie,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Try to celebrate the good life you shared together before PSP. Sometimes we nurse our loved ones for so long that it’s hard to remember the good times. May he rest in peace. Now it’s time for you to take care of you. Grieve in your own way and learn that one day too this shall pass and you will cherish life in a whole be way. Sending huge hugs from I SewBears.

Thank you, it is so strange, your whole day is taken with loving and caring for them. Then your on your own. He donated his brain to help others. He was truly a lovely caring man. I loved him so much.
You are right about difficulty remembering the good times ... my aunt just passed away from PSP in June.. and right now the only memory I have is of her sick.. I was her primary care giver.. I miss her terribly.
• in reply toDarl
You have to think of the good memories prior to this illness which takes the true man or women away. We all miss them but do not want them to suffer.
Sending you massive hugs.
I'm so deeply sorry to hear of the loss of your husband.
I imagine you are feeling such pain and conflicting emotions as you grieve his death.
Hugs x

Thank you
So very sorry for your loss. I know that one day, I, too, will be posting this about my husband, and it brings tears to my eyes each and every time that I learn of the passing of a loved one from PSP.
May you hold the good memories that you shared with your husband close in your heart, and may your family and friends surround you with love and support.

So sorry you and your husband had to endure this terrible illness. As you said he is at peace now, PSP no longer has him in its evil grip. Now it's time to look after you and remember the happy times you shared together as PSP fades away. Sending a big hug, Nanny857xx

Sorry for loss but it is a great relief that they are out of their suffering. We must now take care of ourselves as we have gone through a terrible time. There is a big huge void, our routine has been broken and we need time to adjust our lives. Little bye little things will get better. And remember they are with us always. X

• in reply to
A cup of coffee always helps me get through the day & Someday's it takes a pot of coffee to flush out the uckies of saddness & frustration building up in my brain. It is not a cure all but l swear it helps (somedays).
So sad to hear of your loss but l am so very pleased to hear you both celebrated your anniversary with family & friends. Sending Hugs... Granni B

I am so sorry to hear your husband, Edward, has left us. Please accept my sincere condolences. Although his suffering has now ended I know the pain of his loss is very hard for you.
My husband, Les, left me in November 2017. Although I knew his pain had ended it still was, and continues, to be so difficult to accept.
Take care of yourself. I am sending hugs and love to you.
Love
Pat
