Final stage

[vecon]

My wife passed last week...thought i would tell her last stage

* bed bound for last month (October)

* loss control of bowels (3 weeks ago)

* right arm & hand only functional limb (2weeks)nal

* loose of appetite (2 weeks)

* swallowing problems (10days)

* clenched mouth..refused to eat or drink (3 days)

* death (zero days)

Before PSP = 15 lbs. At death about 55 lbs

I believe final stage may be different for each PSP case

I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing what must have been difficult to write, although so sad , it is helpful to read as all the information about the last stage is so confusing. I hope you manage to find some peace in the coming weeks and months.

My husband is reaching his end days . Barely eating .. maybe a couple of teaspoons of puréed food... barely drinking ... stays in bed most days in a strange shut down state. So awful seeing such prolonged suffering . How much longer will it go on ... no one can say ... as you say everyone is different , but your text strikes a chord

[AJK2001]

Vecon,

My heart goes out to you and your family. I know from personal experience that there is nothing I can say, however I hope you see from these replies that you are thought of and concerned about. My thoughts and prayers of comfort, strength, and wisdom in this difficult time go out to you.

Every stage of PSP is different. While your wife is not longer suffering in this stage, it is no easier on you. Care for yourself now. The care you have provided for your wife has been growing over the years and all consuming at the end. It was difficult for me to make that transition from being a caregiver to not.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It brought back sad memories. I know it must have been difficult to write, but will be helpful for others. Facing the unknown is so hard. Be sure to take care of yourself now and hold your happy memories close. They will be a comfort.

Sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing in this difficult time. Take care of yourself. It seems weird to say but sometimes we forget to do that in stressful times.

Vecon,

My condolences to you and your family on the loss of your wife. Take comfort from the simple fact that she is now free from the damned disease and thanks for sharing this with us. I fear that my wife is about a year or so behind yours in her progression, so what you share here with us is quite helpful to me.

Take care and be kind to yourself.

Warmly,

Dick

So sorry for the loss of your dear wife. The final stage is hard to go through, I was there this time last year.

Your wife is now free and her whole beautiful self again, PSP no longer has her in its evil grasp.

Now please take time to care for yourself and grieve in your own way, take one day at a time.

Lots of love, Nanny857xx
