It has been a very trying time. I feel almost a sense of relief it was hard to see him suffer. There was no real indication of his impending death. I just said I wish I had been with him.

Caregivers Asked

Dad tired of living. Any suggestions?
How do you cope with losing just about all of your family to death? I've lost almost all of my family, and have changed. Anyone else?
I have to have a video chat with Grandma at the NH tomorrow & I'm feeling anxious about it. Has anyone had to do this before?

So sorry to hear this xhausted. I know you have been struggling with emotions and decisions these past few months. Take your time to heal... there is a New Year ahead and many more things to look forward to

Big hugs, xhausted. I think everyone here understands your mixed feelings. Take care of yourself these next few months as you work through things. Even though you weren't there when he died, I'm sure your husband knows you were there for him when he needed. I hope that soon the bad memories will be replaced with good ones from an earlier time.

The numbness lasts about 3 days. Then you cry. Let yourself do that, but remember to be happy for his freedom.
