Yes my family, I haven't been on this blog for a couple weeks, found it too difficult, my wonderful John was E.O.life for two weeks,after a chest infection,but finally gave up the fight on Sunday at 11pm, me and my daughter was able to hold and cuddle him right to the end. My son came from America just a couple of days prior, John wasn't able to converse then but as soon as he heard his voice he was holding his hand and squeezing. Maybe not right thing to say but it couldn't have ended better for us all. Yesterday was so so painful never felt like this in my life, messages flooding in such an admired man.
Poignantly, my granddaughters partner is running the Bournemouth marathon next Sunday for PSP, he's never ran before, but is now fully inspired, I have been invited to go too to encourage him on, hope I have the strength to do it, John I'm sure will be behind me helping me on for such a cause.
Sending wishes to all who is suffering this horrible disease my John no longer has to suffer. heartbroken Jean💔💔xx

I am so sorry for your loss but he is no longer suffering now. Be kind to yourself and the best of luck to your granddaughters partner, if you can find the strength go along as it’s good to do something different- I found it helped my grieving to get out even though it was so hard. Sending you lots of love
After all of his suffering he experienced a loving and peaceful death surrounded by his family, its what we would all like at the end our lives. It will actually give you comfort knowing he died peacefully, I know it did that for me. Sending much love to you all and good luck to your granddaughter.
Jean, my heart goes out to you. I'm sure that being surrounded by his loving family comforted him in his last hours. Take heart, he is now free from this cruel disease.
Dear Jean, I am so sorry that John has passed away, may he rest in peace, finally free from this evil disease.
Of course it's the right thing to say, that the end was exactly how you would have wanted. It's the one guarantee in this life that we die. Why wouldn't we want to spend our last moments with our loved ones holding us and telling us they love us. I know that's how I want to go. Steve also had this luxury, his daughter was over from the States, was due to go home the day he died, I am sure he chose his moment. I hope he did, it still gives me so much comfort, even now, nearly three years later.
I hope you manage to get to watch the Bournemouth Marathon, naturally, you will be sad, but equally so proud, knowing that the money raised may actually stop this evil disease wrecking other families, like it has ruined all of ours. There will always be that final pound that will tip the scales in our favour.
Look after yourself, this grieving lark is bloody tiring, the only way to do it is, YOUR way.
This disease etches it’s mark into our hearts but he’s free from it now. Please take care of yourself and lean on your family there and here. We are here for you.
My most sincere condolences for the loss of your dear man, Jean. So good that he had you all close to him for his final time.
Now a whole different hardship begins: it will seem unbearable at times, but our experienced members tell us that life will assume colour again some day. Have faith. I wish you healing and health.
I have just gone on to my computer, I know it's late, but just one day later I found I have 18 replies 😍 i am so overwhelmed, I have been so busy today with visitors, messages and cards, also tried making some funeral plans. I live in a caring home, and I took the plunge to visit the lounge and meet our other family the tenants, who are all upset too,somehow I was strong and held it together, and then ventured to the supermarket that was very hard, my daughter and granddaughter are so wonderful, staying with me day and night not leaving my side, we have had so many talks and tears over all our memories, we were married for 57yrs.
Thank you all so very much for your wonderful wishes and condolences, they are so comforting.
I hope I can still help those of you who are still caring for your loved ones and look forward to your guidance for the future.
If tears were diamonds we would all be rich beyond our wildest dreams .....
Many will be shed but capture a few as treasured memories of those loved and lost.
His fight is done and PSP has taken another fantastic person well before their time
Take strength in the coming days and weeks by the love and support of those around you
We lost dad (also John) in July this year and still even now something reminds us and those diamonds 💎 arrive again
Good luck for the run. May johns wings lend speed to your granddaughters partner. He’ll be running with the wings of an angel helping him every gruelling step

Take strength in the coming days and weeks by the love and support of those around you and take time to look after YOU! Mum and dad have like you over 50 years together and I know how draining caring full time will have been for you too.
We lost our dad in July this year and still even now something reminds us and those diamonds 💎 come again.
Sincere condolences, Stay strong and let the 💎 💎 fall
