My 73 year old father died this past Monday February 3 from PSP. We notice a decline 3 days before his passing he was sleeping more than usual and it was really weak. He died at home went to sleep and never woke up. We are heartbroken and at the same time relieve that he is no longer suffering. I want to thank this community that I found when searching symptoms of this horrible disease 3 years ago. I spent a lot of time reading your experiences, stories, advices and it really truly helped us when we felt hopeless and misunderstood.

Thank u from the bottom of my heart to all of you.

If tears are 💎 we are rich beyond our wildest dreams. Another brave soul makes their final journey of release. Safe in the arms of angels.

Your father is now at peace and no longer gripped by this evil disease.

So sorry for your loss.

Now is time for you as a family to grieve but also don’t feel that it’s wrong to feel relieved. It’s normal and something that more than likely every single one of us on here who have already lot our loved one fully gets.

He died peacefully in his sleep. At peace. At rest.

Take care and be strong.

So sorry Kora you have lost your dad. Hope you and your family find some comfort in that he is now free and at peace, no longer in PSP's evil grasp, no more suffering. Also that he was at home with his loved ones and slipped peacefully away.

Sending big hug and lots of love

Another soul who was victim to this disease leaves us, sorry to hear your sad news but I'm sure he had had enough. Hopefully he died 'a good death' after all of his suffering.

Sending love
