My beloved husband died last night. Roger was a kind, gentle soul and was well loved by the facility staff, residents, and our hospice team. His hospice nurse and I thought he had a few more days, but his progression accelerated very quickly, and he was gone within an hour. I was there, holding his hand and talking to him, reminiscing about the highlights of our 22 years together and telling him he was going to soon be in heaven with his late wife and Jesus. I told him I would be okay and gave him permission to let go. He died peacefully soon afterwards.
Tomorrow I will go to clean out his room at the ALF and to say goodbye to people at the facility and our hospice team, many of whom have become like family to me.
While I have known this moment was coming, I am devastated.

Dear fmb,

Your post started a floodgates of tears and emotions. I can only imagine the pain of the final goodbye, even knowing he is no longer suffering and he is in a much better place. It must be so hard to finally face this. I'm sending a great big hug abd know people here care.

So sorry for your loss. We all know this is in our futures, but, when the time comes, is anyone really prepared? You have my deepest sympathy.

fmb - my heart goes out to you. What a precious send off to finally be free from this nightmare. You granted safe passage and were able to be there at his side, at such a sacred time. I can only hope for the same. Wishing you peace, in time. I am sorry for all that you both went through with this disease, and glad that you are both free.

I’m so sorry all this happened. Alzheimer’s took good years away. You were a comfort to him at every step and I’m sure he was incredibly grateful. Rest now and take the time to heal and reflect.

I am glad his passing was peaceful, and that you were by his side. My thoughts are with you.

Thinking of you and your family.

As others have said it is a very moving experience to be with someone you love when they pass on.

You have cared for your husband and I am sure will feel his thanks for all you did for him

I thank every one of you who responded with condolences, prayers and support. I would not have made it through Roger's illness without the support and advice I found in this amazing community. This has truly been my lifeline. Now that I'm in Stage 8, I humbly ask for your continued support and prayers as I also offer mine for my fellow travelers on this journey. You are all amazing!

ALCB · February 11
