My husband died only 2 days ago so its very raw. He had Parkinson’s and just recently the associated dementia but he still knew me. He was in care as he lost mobility and I could no longer care for him. He was deteriorating but his death was very sudden in the end and I was with him. I managed to tell him I loved him just before he passed, which I feel sure he heard, which is a great comfort. The grief will never go away and I have no other family. I feel that I want to die too.**

@IanWilson I am so sorry. They say that hearing is the last thing to go so take comfort he would have heard you. It is never easy watching a loved one suffer with any illness. Members on this group can relate to how you are feeling in these early days. It really is a rollercoaster of emotions and it is not easy knowing how to deal with it. Although you have no other family members I really hope you have friends to support you through your grief. Thinking of you and sending you a hug. x

I feel for you so deeply. I’m glad that you were with him and able to tell him again that you loved him. There aren’t really any words that can make it easier just now but please know that people in this community care about you and always will x
Thank you. I know that my late husband loved me. About 6 months ago, before the dementia took over, he said one day “No matter what happens now you know that I love you”. I think he had some insight into what was happening to him.
I hear you. I cry all the time. I try to tell myself I was lucky to have loved and to have ben loved for 42 wonderful years by such a beautiful clever woman.
