Sorry to tell you that my wife passed away on the 22nd July after being in hospital since she was taken ill on our 66th wedding anniversary on the 12th.
The hospital staff were wonderful and even took care of me when I stayed overnight.
So, while I looked at the forum regularly - in the hope that I might learn about something that would make life easier for my Minnie, I guess I won't need to do so any more.
I am finding the loneliness hard to take - after my life revolving around visiting her almost every day since she moved into a nursing home late November.
Have great support from our son and daughter but the silence in the evening is scary.
So, goodbye friends for just now
Bless you all.
My condolences, Jackmin. So sorry to hear of your loss. After so many years of marriage it is bound to take a while to adjust to the silence of living alone.
Though I am the one with Parkinson's, my husband passed away first (last year). Thus, I know something of what you are suffering now. The pain does lighten a little after a time, but of course we know we'll always miss our partners. As you note, other family members can help us recover.
My best wishes for your health and peace of mind.
