Gone

[Billy's Girl]

My darling husband died peacefully at ten to ten last Friday. I was holding him until his last breath. Strange thing was he died on my first husband's birthday. I an fine now as if the cloud over me has risen. After3 years in nursing homes I could write a book of how this horribly cruel disease runs its course. It is the last thing I would want to suffer with. I shall encourage donations for research at the funeral.

I feel so sad reading your post.

It`s as if those of us who have lost, relive our own experiences and as well as feeling sad for you, feel sad for ourselves.

I am so very sorry Billy's Girl.
Your comment about your cloud having lifted is lovely to read.
Look after yourself, you must be feeling fragile even though you say you are fine x

I am so sorry for your loss and somehow glad for both your sakes, that this dreadful experience has come to an end. I think that those of us who have worn this T shirt can fully understand your feeling of the clouds being lifted.
Take care of you..... you come first now.x.x.

Sorry to read if your loss.
The idea of asking for donations at the funeral is wonderful- the more money raised the more hope there is in the future that the next generations of pwd do not suffer like the current ones do

I am sorry to read of your loss Billy's Girl. Although the whole of this horrific illness is a series of losses. The only consolation is the fact that at last the one we love is free of suffering and at peace.

But look after yourself now, grief has no pattern to it. I wish you strength in the days, weeks and time ahead, and also comfort from memories of times before dementia.

Deepest sympathy

So sorry to hear your dear husband has gone but I can relate to the lifting cloud. My brother died around 6 years ago and mum whilst devastated had years of worries for him...she said she felt relief she didn't have to worry for him any more. Mum died over 3 years ago and I have cared and supported dad since, he died in March and I feel exactly the same as mum...I don't have to worry for him anymore. So cloud lifting is a totally natural feeling for you.
