It will be two months at 2am since the light went out of my life 
. Our daughter and I had been taking turns in sitting with Ray at night but that night I insisted on being with him. I cuddled up in bed beside him he was sleeping peacefully. Something woke me at half one I called for our daughter and she came straight downstairs he passed away at 2am. I phoned for the out of hours nurses and they came very quickly. While Ray was unwell he wouldn’t let anyone but me do his personal care so I washed him and helped get him into clean pyjamas once the nurses had removed his drainage bags. I felt that it was the last thing I could do for him and was honoured to do it .

That’s so sad to hear but beautiful that you cared for your husband at the end in such a special and intimate way.
I am sure he would have been looking down on you with love and thanks to you and your daughter. There’s maybe not a better way to pass.
Sending love xx

Thank you, I promised him that he would be looked after at home which is what he wanted.

He was the love of my life and I was honoured that he wanted me to look after him. It wasn’t easy but he was loved so much.
