Lady T, I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you. Like others have said, you were an amazing, loving wife and caregiver. Jesse was truly blessed to have you by his side throughout this journey. I know God will give you the strength you need. Also rest in His grace and peace. Blessings to you and your family during this time.0

Lady, I can feel the anguish in your words, but I believe with all my heart that God knows your pain, and He is with you. Remember that very old poem “The Footprints of God “?. He Will carry you through this! Virtual hugs to you! Wish I could do it in person!0

Lady Texan..I just want to express my heartfelt sympathy. I know you were a devoted caregiver.
I honestly think unless you’ve been down this path it’s impossible to know the daily impact. Love never dies.
God bless you.

You have been a rock, and this was always the only outcome. I remember you well long after I left the site to try to become a post-Alzheimer's person. Nothing will ever be the same for you, but nothing after this will be quite as terrible (we hope). Take care, Mary0

My continued prayers to you for God's strength while you process all your thoughts and feelings in this awful time. I know you will focus on gratefulness for all the good things just as you were determined to focus on them through your and your DH's daily ordeals. You are and have been my inspiration of how to be a caregiver and I thank you for sharing your heart as well as amazing tips with us. You were not only Jesse's caregiver during this but a loving and caring wife at the same time, which is not an easy thing to do sometimes. I hope both you and Hap are together this morning getting healing and courage from each other. May your faith sustain you.0

LT - I am so sorry. You have been on my mind since I don’t visit the forum as regular as I did before my DH Passed. You will get through this. We all deal with the loss as best we can, there is no right or wrong way. Just know that you did everything in your power to make his life comfortable for him, you gave him love beyond measure. May you be surrounded by angels to give you comfort as you travel this new chapter in your life journey. (((HUGS)))0
