He is at peace(1)

DH passed away Sunday, June 6th and was released from his earthly binds. He had been in the care of hospice at home for the past several weeks and I was grateful that I was with him as he took his last breath. I can not put into words the support, love, education and encouragement that I have received on this site. My wish for all of you is love, patience and peace. I feel really lost at this point after 24/7 care for years but have faith that God has a plan for me. Blessings to all of you.

    Sorry to hear of your loss. Hopefully you will now focus on healing, and transitioning into another new normal.
  • So sorry for your loss, may your fond memories fill your heart to comfort you. Prayers.
  • DWck, I am so sorry you have lost your DH.  I have been following your posts for a while.  My words are the same as LadyTexan...she said what I would have written to you.

    My DH is also on hospice now and he could pass at any time.  I have been on a roller coaster of emotions and at times I have even been upset with God for letting this happen, but as you said, he has a plan for us.  When I look back at my life he always had a plan for me but never did I think there would be one that lasted so long with much sadness that my husband has had to suffer with this disease and the grief I have felt for the past 4 years.

    God Bless and be with you always. 

  • DWck  I am sorry for your lose I know what a struggle this has been for you. Your husband was blessed to have you for his care giver, I pray that you now can take care of yourself and find some peace and contentment in  your life. God's Blessings to you as you start a new journey alone.

  • I am so sorry for your loss. I am so happy that you were able to be with him as he passed. I pray peace for you in the upcoming days.
  • DWck, You have my heartfelt sympathy and condolences on the passing of your DH. You are so right, he is now at peace and I pray the same for you. Take all the time you need to grieve, relax, and give time and attention to self-care just as you gave such loving care to your husband. You did a wonderful job and now he is free.
  • DWck, I'm so sorry for your loss. But you are right that he is at peace now. I'm glad that you were with him when he passed. May God bless you and your family during this time.
