Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family . I think you will always be his wife . Take care
so sorry for your loss have been following your thread but at least hes peaceful now. be kind to yourself and its going to take time to adjust and mourn. take comfort in your daughters. you will always have that bond and love that only a wife can havePhone call from hospital 6.10 am to elder Daughter. OH passed away peacefully at 6am. We have been over to see him. I have taken his wedding ring and am wearing it now. All of yesterday was horrible as he struggled for breath but the nurses upped the medication and by midnight he was sleeping calmly and we came home. Funeral arrangements well in hand already- it will be on Saturday morning at crematorium with interment of ashes in his family grave at a later date.
It occurs to me that from today onwards I will be neither Wife nor Carer..........
So sorry to hear this. Remember to take care of yourself too at this difficult time .Phone call from hospital 6.10 am to elder Daughter. OH passed away peacefully at 6am.

So sorry to hear this. You are right. You did your best and that must console you .My sympathies. My mother has just passed away, not far off the same time as your OH. It's harder for you since my mother was 92 and had lead a full life, to lose your OH is something else that can only be imagined. If you're anything like me you will be going through the whole gamut of emotions: What could I have done better? What if? It doesn't matter that you know you've done your best, you always think you could have done more. That's natural and normal, and you know you did your best. That's what matters.
