My husband

[thegreylady]

My husband died early yesterday morning. He had been terminal since March 21st but the last two weeks showed a rapid decline. Yesterday morning I went to the loo at 5.40 and he was breathing. When I looked in at 5.45 there was only silence. He was 87. We had a wonderfully happy marriage for 35 years. His sons and my daughter were with him and he died at home as he wished. So relieved, so desperately sad and so very lonely.

I'm so sorry for your loss

Would you like to tell us more about him? How you met, etc?

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your wonderful husband. X

So sorry. X

I am so sorry OP.
I hope you can take comfort in the children, and in the fact that he was able to spend his recent days at home with you.
He is safe from any further pain and suffering now (fwiw), and has been spared the pain of losing you. We none of us get to win in this situation. Eventually all of us will go the same way...💐

I'm so very sorry for your loss

I am really sorry for your loss OP.

If later you’d like to tell us about him please do, it’s always great to hear about a good man and a happy marriage.

I’m really glad you were all able to spend time with him, it must have made him very happy, and it will be nice to share that memory between you.

Focus on taking care of yourself and please do lean on the people around you.

I am so sorry , there is some excellent support here from other who have been where you are now. It is one of the hardest journeys.

Yes. This would be lovely if you can.

So sorry for your loss Hope you can get through this period with the support of your family. My prayers are with you 🙏🏼

Oh I'm so sorry. I hope the rawness of it all is eased a little by the support around you and him having such a peaceful end.

We have been together for 35 years. He was a colleague of my first husband who died aged 44 in 1986. My husband’s ex had left him (and their 3 teenagers) and gone off with a younger man. I had 2 dc and the 5 knew one another slightly. We finally got together in Summer 1988 and married later that year. A blended family of 5 teens aged from 14 to 19. People said we were mad. I had the sweetest kindest husband possible, never a quarrel, a mutually loving relationship and eventually we have seen all 5 dc through university, happily married and we share 9 amazing dgc.He developed a number of complex health problems and over the last two years he became less mobile and we realised that forever is finite.
Between December 30th 2022 and March this year he had 4 hospital admissions each leaving him weaker. He couldn’t walk at all, became doubly incontinent and confused yet when he was able he told me he loved me. I promised he would stay at home till the end and he did. His two sons and I were with him .
I will go on, I am nearly 80, it won’t be too long but this is hard.

so sorry for your loss 💔

A wonderful story of love and life after loss
