It has been such a long road. This is truly a horrible disease. Jeff fought to the bitter end. He finally went home to be at peace this past Saturday. We all said our goodbyes and he was resting peacefully with the love of hospice. It was about 3.5 years from his diagnosis. Closer to 4 years from when things starting going so very wrong.
I think he had every symptom and complication possible along the way. I am always happy to help anyone who is also on this journey with the wisdom I gained, but didn't necessarily want.
We did chose to donate his brain to research. The process was seamless and respectful. Ill let you all know in a few months what they say went wrong in that wonderful head of his.
Thank you all for being there. For your support, friendships and advice. I learned so much. Blessings to you all.
My heart goes out to you and your family. I am so glad to hear that you were all able to say your goodbyes. My husband donated his brain too and it seemed to make things feel a little less a waste of his life, to feel that people could learn from it to see if there is anything that can be done in the future to help others from suffering as our loved ones did. Take care of yourself now. Big hug AliBee x
I am sorry for the passing of your husband and what you all have gone through. Yes, I agree this is an awful disease as I see this everyday with the progression of this disease with my mother. My condolences and take care.
I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope that in the coming days, weeks and months, that you will draw strength from the lifetime of memories that you shared together. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Very sorry to hear about your husband. My heart goes out to you. My husband has been suffering for the last 2 years, first it was diagnosed as Parkinson’s but symptoms deteriorated too fast and then diagnosed as PSP. I don’t know what to expect so living each day as it comes. Take care and God bless.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Such a long hard road to travel. I hope past, happier memories of Jeff fill your heart to help you mend in the days to come. God Bless!
So very sorry for your loss. I hope you can find some consolation and peace in knowing that your dear Jeff is no longer fighting this horrible disease. Big hugs, Purrlie
