Finally free

[audreydrs]

My beloved Dale was diagnosed with PSP in 2020 and his health rapidly declined. frequent fall at first, then by 2022 was unable to walk . Last summer he could whisper my name and few other words but then that disappeared . He finally stopped eating ( was unable to swollow) on Dec 28, 2023 and Jan 3 2024. he quietly passed away. It is so difficult to watch a love one go through the PSP journey. It robs a person of all their abilities. Iam sad and broken hearted but he is in a better place now. His spirit is free from his failing body. Fly and sing with the angles. RIP, Dale I feel for everyone here and I found reading you tips and journey helped me in caring for Dale. Be strong and look after yourselves too. Ask for help and dont feel guiltily if you havd to place your love one in a care home. I found I couldn't do all the care 24/7 . I was able to spend quality time with Dale after He went to a care home. I will continue to read everyone's post.

Dear Audrey, I am so sorry for your loss, I hope you are able to take some time for yourself to process just what you have been through and I hope that in time the trauma of this illness will fade and all the wonderful memories of Dale as he was before he was ill flow back to you. Sending love and hugs, Helen

I'm so sorry, Audrey. Losing our husband/loved one is so hard, even though we know they're finally free of the afflictions they've suffered. My husband suffered for ten years with CBD and just passed away in November 2023. Even though you know it's coming, it's still not easy. The tears will flow, the memories will overwhelm, and the grieving will be what it will be. I wish you well and hope that happy memories enfold you and comfort you right now.

Thanks everyone for your condolence and kind words. It is indeed difficult time for me to come to terms with Dales passing. It all seems so surreal at this point as I work through the grieving process. My thoughts and prayer are with everone going on this journey .
