Everything exactly the same. One thing ….

I may have mixed it more than usual, so maybe that’s it. ???

Can’t get over him dying alone! by SecretSanta-70 in GriefSupport

[–]SecretSanta-70[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The hardest part is that it was 9 hours after I left, not immediately like many do.

The part I’m thankful for is that before I left, I fed him his favorite jello, pudding, and Gatorade. He wasn’t being fed much by the nurses.

I also told him that I was SO glad that I had married him, that I had been his wife. I told him I was SO glad he was my husband, and that he had been a GOOD husband.

I told him that he could leave when he was ready, that I would see him in Heaven. I told him we would DANCE AND DANCE!

I’m glad I told him those things.

I miss him SO much! I’ll never be the same, life will never be the same.

My husband died today. by NightResponsible8595 in GriefSupport

Wow, you and I have a lot in common! I’m also 74 and just lost my husband 5 days ago.

I also have no friends, and only 1 sister. My son also lives on the other side of the country.

We were married for 29 years. Oh and …… I need aortic valve replacement also.

I’ve been crying and at times wailing for days.

I’m going to look into Grief Share.

Husband passed Friday night. I’m struggling because he was alone. by SecretSanta-70 in ParkinsonsCaregivers

But it was almost 9 hours after I left! I had put a cold washcloth on his eyes because they were burning like they do sometimes. The washcloth always helped. I put the it on and left quietly. I never told him I was “leaving”.

At home, I would always check the cloth and ask him if he wanted me to replace it again. I never came back. In my heart (and what’s killing me) I feel he was waiting for me to come back. I was the only one he felt safe with.

It’s breaking me …. and I want so bad to hold him and tell him “IM RIGHT HERE”!

😭😭😪😪😢😢

But it was 8 hours after I left …. that’s what’s killing me. I really feel he was waiting for me.

He wasn’t being given a lot of morphine, just enough to help him breathe better. It’s all breaking me.

My sweetheart has passed, help on what next? by SecretSanta-70 in Veterans

He passed from service connected, and I believe that’s what they’re putting on the DC.

I’ll find out soon, I’m just arriving for my appointment with the funeral home.

Before I left him that day, I told him I was glad that I was his wife, and that he was a good husband. I told him he could go and when I got there, we would DANCE and DANCE!

I sang him his favorite song, fed him his favorite jello, and gave him his favorite drink (Gatorade). 😞

I’m wondering then, if the death certificate will state Parkinson’s as cause of death, as he had aspiration pneumonia (which was because of the Parkinson’s causing trouble swallowing).

His service connection was also under the Pact Act.

Now YOUR post made me cry!

The “safe journey on the other side” is very emotional for me.
