loss of husband

[TinaT]

Dear Carol,

Thanks for your PM. I wouldn't have realised just who you were from your initial post.

For all you TP'ers out there, I know Carol personally. We had the sad experience of finding both our husbands on the same Assessment Ward. Sadly Geoff was never able to leave the ward ans I'm so very sorry to hear of his death and I send all my love to you and your lovely family.

I have to say that it was a great privilage and an honor to have met both you and Geoff. Your courage has been enormous and your love for your husband shone through every time I met you. Your dementia journey was one of the worst that could possibly be. Geoff had very severe dementia and at such a young age. The torment for you both lasted a long, long time.

You never failed him, you were always there, always cheerful, even at the times when I would have crumbled to see how very, very poorly he was. How hard it must have been to visit week in and week out, year in and year out and often have very little recognition and witness his great distress. I take my hat off to a woman in a million and your wonderful family who stood shoulder to shoulder with you through such very hard times.

I hope that we can keep in touch Carol. As I say you are one in a million and I have enormous respect for you.

xxTinaT
