My dear husband passed in his sleep peacefully without pain at 8:45 this a.m. I must have awakened just when he passed! I think he must have told me!

It's an amazing time in our lives for our family and wonderful friends. It's filled with love and sadness, and joy and laughter. His work is done. He is no longer suffering.

I want to express my thanks to our wonderful Hospice team of some of the most incredible women I have ever met. They took great care of my husband with compassion and kindness, and me too!


Thank you to those on RFM for their support and compassion. It is much appreciated.

Oh Susie - I'm so sorry. I've been following your story for a while. I'm glad he's no longer suffering and his passing was peaceful. Hugs.

Good thoughts sent your way, SusieQ.

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, but I'm glad to hear that it was all very peaceful. *HUGS*

our week was turned upside down by the suicide of one of my wife's closest friends.

and even at the funeral today, I was wondering how things were going for you.

Glad you had an incredible experience with hospice. Glad our country has finally figured out how to process this stage of life.

hugs and kisses.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Susie. You have my deepest condolences.

That's so sad, Susie. Big hug.

All blessings, during your time of transition and transcendence! Be well. SusieQ#1!

Take special care of yourself . My own dear gentle 96 year old father is dying now. Amazingly, he is in the same room now with my mother, who has had dementia for 8 years. He was lucid Thursday and held her hand and said goodbye. She managed to say his name. Heartbreaking and joyous at the same time.

My husbands grand parents just passed. They were in their late 90's. They passed 3 days apart, and had funeral together. In so many ways it was a sweet ending. Two loves moving on together.

Condolences to you SusieQ. It appears you were a wonderful companion and caretaker to the end - what a gift you have given your husband.

Glad you are surrounded with family and friends SusieQ.

Susie, I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad your husband's passing was peaceful. The stories you've shared about the relationship you two shared have been inspiring to me. Take care of yourself and know that warm thoughts are sent your way.

I'm so sorry Susie.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Hugs from the High Desert Country.

I feel for you, and may you find comfort in knowing that his suffering is over.

So sorry, SusieQ - sending loving thoughts your way

I know you will be with him again. I had a near-death-experience and there was nothing Mormon about it. Time doesn't heal all wounds. It lets you eventually develop scarr tissue so you can keep your sanity. Take your time.

I am so thankful for Hospice and how they helped us to let Dad die at home. Hopefully Mom can too.

So very sorry for the loss of your dear husband. Sending you big heartfelt hugs from this MexMom.

Susie:

I hope you also have a Peaceful transition into a new, another part of your life, as Peaceful as your husband's passing.

I have tears in my eyes. This has been a long time coming. I hope you both have peace now.

Love,

I'm so sorry in this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss, SusieQ. My condolences to you and your family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Hoping that the wonderful memories that you made together will soon patch the hole you feel in your heart at this time. Glad that hospice was there to help. Deepest condolences.

I'm sorry for your loss, SusieQ. But I am glad to know that you had such a great hospice team, and that you have friends and family around you to support you.

Sorry to hear about your loss. My mom passed away about 18 months ago and my brother followed her last year. My mother had hospice care from the nearby polygamous community from Colorado City. The girl was actually really nice. Funny thing is when it was time to go to bed, she would climb in bed with my mom - kinda sweet. She was also rather good looking even though she dressed in the usual pioneer dress and bonnet with the poofy doo they typically put their hair in. She was probably a bit of a rebel though as she would sit in my mom's room with her Macbook laptop and watch youtube videos - I don't think computers are allowed.

I'm so glad he wasn't in pain at the end and that you could be there. Good luck out there.

I'm glad you have the comfort of knowing he was peaceful.

My deepest condolences.

My condolences to you and your family. It is heartening to hear how you turned his life in to celebration, enjoying each moment to the end.

Hospice is a marvelous group of people, so selfless and loving. I know I could not do the job they do.

SusieQ, you and your family are in my thoughts. It's wonderful to read of your courage and strength during this time.

My sympathies to you and your family, Susie.

Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

I'm so sorry. My spouse of 5 decades is the center of my life and I can't imagine how one of us will go on without the other. Fortunately, you are a strong woman. Keep us up to date, we worry about you.

Condolences to you and yours. It's great that you are surrounded by family and friends during this difficult time.

Sincere condolences Susie.

Thinking of you and wishing you peace and love.

All my healing, loving energy to you, Suzie !!!

I will celebrate a life well lived.
