Thank you Barbara, we more or less lost our husbands at the same time as Chris passed away at 4:20pm on 17th September. I feel like it was only yesterday and still struggle to accept he’s gone. You must have had similar emotions to me on your daughter’s wedding day, knowing your husband was poorly. I think back to 27th August and how I’d had no sleep as Chris had suffered that night so much & hallucinating, dragging me into the bathroom for fear of an explosion from a terror attack. I was so frightened & totally not prepared for what was happening. Somehow Chris found the energy to marry me & eat some of our wedding buffet. He was a hero, totally selfless & so strong. It sounds like your husband was very similar xx

Yes sounds like they were both very brave, strong men dealing with their illness. I am so proud of mark he never lost his great sense of humour and was always positive when talking to people about his illness even though deep down he knew he wasn’t going to get better.
I am sure he knew at the wedding what was going to happen to him. I can’t imagine how frightening that must have been for him or maybe after all that he had been through he was ready to let go. I will never know. People have told me since that when he said goodnight to them at the wedding they knew they weren’t going to see him again. Xx
