The end of my story

in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

My Husband Clarence passed last night. He went peacefully. He no longer knew any of us and he wouldn't have wanted to be that way. He was a proud retired Navy veteran who served in two wars. We had two sons and 2 grand daughters and 2 honorary grand children. He was so proud of the adults they had become. I will be OK physically. He allowed me to be a strong woman and taught me many things to take care of myself. Emotionally I will never be the same.

Thank all of you for sharing your travels along this road. I learned so much and shared your sad moments. I am exhausted and to be honest am looking forward to leaving this site that I was drawn to read every evening once my sweetie went to bed. I know this experience has taught me how to respond to others who are facing health challenges.

Thanks again.
