in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

It was a long journey with my husband. He is finally set free from this horrible disease. My wish came true to keep him home until the end. My whole life was taking care of him and a deep void is something I have to get through. I never posted here much but I needed this outlet to say he is not with me anymore. Such mixed emotions glad it is over for him but still miss him so much

    Wishing peace to you both. When you are feeling up to it, would you be willing to share how you were able to manage keeping him at home plz? I know it’s not possible in every situation but what allowed that to happen for you and your DH? Thank you.

    I’m so sorry for the loss or your dear husband. The mix of emotions is so very real. I love @David1941’s post - so true that the deeper the love, the deeper the loss. I tell myself to be grateful I had a love that true. Hugs and prayers for you as you move through stage 8. Keep us posted on how you’re doing.
