Molly
My thoughts are with you both and all the family. I hope there is time ahead that can be treasured whilst also obviously very sad. Sending strength.

Oh Molly I am so sorry to read this. I will be thinking of you Mike and your children. There are never the right words to say so I won't try but just wanted you to know that myself and everybody here are behind you.
Take care

Thank you for your kind messages it is such a comfort. I am spending everyday at the Hospice and although Mike is sleeping most of the time we do have periods of talking and even a tune or two being sung. The children and grandchildren are coming in so there is somebody with him most of the time. i sat today and watched countless staff come and go tending to his every need my job was to keep him upto date with any news, talk about happy times and feed him the odd treat. It was so different from a week ago when I was stressing about whether I was giving him the care he needed and deserved.

You are all in my thoughts

Oh Molly your words have struck such a Cord with me ( a week ago I was stressing about wether I was giving the care he needed and deserved) . I felt this when Trevor was so poorly before Xmas I was trying to sort the puppies /dogs / children and everything else and was literally running from one room to another.
Every body and every circumstance is different but for me when the time comes I would want Trevor to be in the hospice so as you have said we can spend quality time together .
Much love being sent your way.

I thought by now I would be writing with sad news given how poorly Mike was when he entered the Hospice but it is quite the opposite. I am not going to lie it's not been all beer and skittles he had terrible hallucinations and delirium on the medication and a urine infection. I stayed over with him most nights as he was fretful through the night and agitated. The doctors and nurses have been wonderful and eventually tweaked the medication to find exactly what suited him and the difference is remarkable. I have my old Mike back he is weaker but his sense of humour and mischief is back and it's wonderful to hear the laughter coming from his room he has such a carry on with the staff. I can honestly say we are having quality time together now which is wonderful for all the family. Feeling blessed with love

My darling Mike passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon. He had almost six weeks in the Hospice and was cared for with love and dignity. I can't thank the Hospice enough for the care they gave him but also myself and the family. He was surrounded by his family who were his whole world.

With love

Hi Mollyloo,


I have just got up for a cup of tea and read your post having following it for a while.It is a very sad time for you but you gave him the best love and care any wife could give her husband over the difficult months you have stood by him.


I know it will take time to adjust to you loss but  time will heal and you will remember the good times of your life together.


I wish you luck for the future.


Regards John.

Dear Molly


Like John I am up and about early because I can't sleep and I've just seen your post


Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.


I can't think of any comforting words right now and I'm sure that nothing any of us can say can make your pain go away. Just know you are in our thoughts.


My best wishes to you

Molly, I've just arrived to this nice peaceful site.

Fisrt I do when I get up in the morning is having a look at the recent posts. I've read yours and felt so sad about it.

My condolences on Mike passing away.

As we say in Spain, "time heals everything". I hope it does not take long for you to get over it.

Best wishes,

Lola.
