He’s been in a hospice for end of life care for two weeks, and up until a couple of days ago we could call and text each other.
The messages I have on my phone from Friday will be the last, he’s mostly sleeping now, I’m lost.

That is heartbreaking @Hardtimesnow . I am so sorry for what your family is going through. Sending you lots of strength to get through this time

Sending you the biggest hugs!!

I had the same thoughts when my dad was in nursing home (in lieu of hospice bed) and floored me!

I sometimes scroll through our chat history and photos etc and sometimes I ignore it completely!!

Thinking of you OP Flowers

Oh OP, I am so very sorry.

Do you have people to look after you?

Arriettyborrower · 26/11/2023 23:34

My DH died in September, we were prolific texters but he couldn’t use his phone very much in the final weeks. I have found reading our old messages a comfort.

Sending you love and strength right now x

theduchessofspork · 26/11/2023 23:35

I am so sorry, I have been where you now are and I know that no amount of words will ease what you are going through. Sending you strength and love

2jacqi · 26/11/2023 23:57

@Hardtimesnow are you at his bedside just now OP? just sit and talk to him and hold his hand. he hears most things that you say to him. my daughter was only in hospice for 5 days and was sitting up talking till lunchtime. she passed away 4.5 hours later. even though you are expecting it, it is still a shock when it happens. I hope you have someone there with you. x
