Lindy

I feel so sad reading this, the feeling of inevitability comes over very strongly, and I can understand why from the way you describe the situation. Though you sent me the comfort blanket (so nice of you to wash it and make it smell so gorgeous), I have let it cover me in its wonderful love and care and am sending it right back because your need is great right this minute.

I wish there was something I could say to help, but I know there isn't so I really just wanted to send you a virtual hug.

Much love

Sorry to read this - they drew a biro line on Stan's chest and said if the oedema reached that point, to phone for an ambulance. Eventually it did, and we did - he died in hospital the following day so in hindsight, I wished we hadn't called.

Of course, lack of mobility will make the swelling worse - can they not give him anything stronger for the pain (without zonking him out, of course)

I am very sad to say Tim passed away peacefully at 8 o'clock this evening. He had been going downhill rapidly the last couple of weeks. Our local hospice have been wonderful with all their help. We got him a bed downstairs for the last couple of weeks which made life so much easier. For the last week we have had careers coming in 3 or 4 times a day and thank goodness we did as even though for a couple of days we didn't really need them since Monday he deteriorated rapidly and by Friday we couldn't get him out of bed. When I had a bit of a meltdown talking to the hospice nurse on Thursday she quickly arranged for a Marie Curie nurse to stay Thursday and Friday night. What a relief that was not to have the worry of listening out and going downstairs to check all was OK although it did mean I had to have the dog sleeping with me and she always seemed to get restless at 3in the morning!! Today I had a lovely day with my 2 children and 4 grandchildren. My wonderful son in law cooked a BBQ and althoughTim didn't seem to be aware of anything I am sure he heard all his family and smelt the BBQ through his window!! His sister and her daughter were also round and it wasn't until it was just me and my son and daughter at home that his breathing changed and he peacefully slipped away.

I now know I have the hard job of living a life without him after 45 years but I have a lovely family to help me.

Lindy, how brave you are and how wonderful that Tim's last hours were filled with family and sounds of happiness and joy. They say that our hearing is the last sense to go - I feel sure that he let go and slipped away because his heart could hear that you would be surrounded with love. I wish for you just a little more of the strength that you have already shown, to get you through the coming days, weeks and months.

Sleep peacefully Tim x

Lindy,

So sorry Tim has passed away. Although you will have known that the end was near, it's still a shock, the effects of which sometimes take a time to register. I wish you and your family fortitude in coming to terms with your loss and extend my condolences.

I'm so very sorry for you and your family Lindy. You did everything you could and made sure Tim was as comfortable as he could be and that he was surrounded by family and love. Do take care of yourself in the weeks to come.

Much love Rosy x
