I'm so sorry. Take it one day at a time. You've gone through some dreadful times; you will get through this. We are all stronger than we think.

Your loss is such a hard one because you really lost him twice and lost a part of yourself in the caretaker journey. I hope you find your way forward with peace.

I'm so sorry for your loss

Nowhere

May your dear husband rest in sweet peace no longer burdened with Parkinson’s and may you find peace and rest, too, knowing you gave all you could to support and care for him through his illness. Hold onto those memories of healthy and happier times that you are experiencing. They’ll keep you afloat when you need them the most; a gift from the past that will see you through.

I am so sorry for the loss of your DH. I am just a little ahead of you — lost my husband Oct. 4– and in a very similar manner. From first hospital admission to memory care to a bad fall and a second hospitalization, he was gone in seven weeks. This was someone who entered the hospital seemingly at early stage 6, but he stopped eating five days into the first stay. I did not see it coming and I’m still reeling. Just sharing because our experiences seem so similar. My memory care experience mirrored yours; the bad fall came at the end of week one, and I too dreaded the phone ringing. His meds never got fixed, there or at the hospital. And I know exactly what you mean about thinking his well self will walk back in; the bulk of my memories are not of the last three years of illness, but of better times. And yes, the loneliness Is crushing. Take a deep breath and just try to be now. There will be lots of time to figure out what comes next. My thoughts are with you as we travel the same road.
