    so sorry for your loss. My husband passed August 12 following a rapid decline, not eating or drinking then not being able to swallow. He went into memory care just last December. This is a heartbreaking disease. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hugs.

    So sorry but your heart and mind can know that you did everything that you could so the rest was in DH and Gods hands. May you keep that present in your mind as you deal with your loss.

    Losing your partner and seeing them suffer are hard, hard things to weather. I hope in time you find peace in the knowledge that you were there, loving, caring and sharing your life with one who loved you too.

    I am sorry to hear of your husband's passing, and I understand what you are going through because my significant other passed away yesterday, and despite all of the strain of caring for her at home, along with a part time caregiver, I wish I was still doing it.
