    My condolences…may you find comfort in that his suffering has ended, and hopefully yours, too. You've fought a courageous long battle. It's time to heal yourself. Hugs.

    While your journey has ended, your love has not. May it comfort you to know you stayed with him, cared for him and he knew you loved him through it all.

    @clarinetist I am rarely able to log on these days due to steady decline for my beloved in Stage 7 here at home. I did so this evening perhaps to see your post. Heartfelt condolences to you. How beautiful the tribute his nursing home staff paid your DH though I can imagine how bittersweet that moment was for you. Nothing about this journey is easy, and you have gone the distance. I wish you peace. Bless you for all the love you showed your dear husband through thick and thin. May your path forward be gentle.
