Sometime over night my beloved husband slipped from his frail body to a better place where he would not fall, could speak clearly once again, and his body regained his strength and vigor. I am heartbroken. I knew the end was near, but I didn't think it was today. When I woke, I couldn't believe he was gone, but our hospice nurse, my sister an a good neighbor mobilized to get me through the shock. For the first time in years, I am sitting here alone. I knew that would come, and I imagine what it would feel like, but this is a whole different kind of empty.

Sending you lots of love - the journey of grief is a hard one, take your time, take each day at a time and just do what you want to do. You will smile and laugh again even though at this moment in time you probably feel that you never will. Try and focus on the good memories - nobody can take your memories away. Thinking of you.
Love Sarahxxx
I'm so sorry to hear your news. What a great photo to post, though! You look so united and bonded in love.
My husband is failing at the moment after major surgery. I'm not sure if he will pull through, as he is so weak.
Whatever happens, I know that the love will continue, as I am sure it is with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Much love

So sorry to hear. Wishing you strength to get through the coming days....... xxx
Sending warm hugs to you .
My heart goes out to you. How grateful he must be that he was beside you when he left and not alone. I quite understand how you feel about him not having a body that gave up on him. When my husband died in 2018 I wrote the poem below. I hope that it will give you comfort. My love goes out to you now as you start a completely different phase of your life. Love and hug AliBee.
Apologies to anyone who has read it before but it just seems appropriate.
His wicked sense of humour
will have now come to the fore
His love of birds and insects
will have now returned once more.
His ability to answer each and every quiz
will once more be in place,
and his laughing eyes and lovely smile
will now be on his face.
He is no longer crippled
by his horrible disease.
His legs will now obey him
so he can Morris dance with ease.
His voice and speech are better
so he can raise his voice in glee.
He can sing and laugh with angels
as his spirit is now free.
We cannot help but miss him
and feel sad that he has gone,
but we can’t be sad he’s been released
from his body which went wrong.
He did believe in heaven
and life beyond the grave,
so let’s give thanks we knew him
and thanks we know he’s safe.
Very sorry to hear about his passing, sending virtual hugs.
What a shock! Deepest condolences as you go through this.
Life goes on. Cherish the memories.
I’m so very sorry. Once in awhile my mind does go to “ trying on” this unimaginable aloneness and it’s unfathomable. Others completely understand. Wishing you peace.
Aurala, I, too, would sit quietly some evenings, after Steve went to sleep, and would "try on" the loneliness. When he was first diagnosed, I would collapse in my fear, uncertain of how I would ever bear it. In the past few months, as the reality drew near, the feeling brought sorrow and defeat. Now, I know the grief, but after the rush of tears comes a small smile as I make myself remember that he is free, this cursed disease has no hold on him anymore, he has found his peace.
I am very sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I hope the memory of happier times fill your heart and mind to help get you through the lonely periods. As you say, he is walking, talking, and being in a far better place and at last free of this horrible disease. The grief, unfortunately, is now ours alone. God Bless.
He will be safe with Him in his heavenly abode. We say Om Shaanthi Shaanthi (Peace be with him)
So very sorry for your loss
He's in peace now, free of that burden, free from that sick body, he's at a better place, relived, be strong, you should know he's no more suffering, & you should be proud of yourself being there all along that miserable journey, Life is made to be endured, we're all battling the same demons, until we're free from our defective bodies (mentally & physically)...
So sad to read your post..even when we try to prepare ourselves..it is still a shock...sending hugs and know you are being kept in our thoughts❤liz
Yes, and it is a numbing emptiness. I am so sorry for your loss, and for his long, hard journey to that better place.
