Athena, I am terribly sorry for your loss. For both of your losses. I can't imagine how hard this time must be for you. You have truly handled yourself with remarkable grace, and stamina. I'm so happy that you were able to keep your husband at home and be with him, and help him make it to the end peacefully and with dignity. I'm certain he felt tremendous gratitude and love for you.
You're in my thoughts. Be well and take care of yourself.

An update: DH died, probably as I was writing that post. Well, he wouldn't be surprised at that! He'd been on enough meds that I'm sure it was peaceful. The hospice nurse has come and gone and the social worker is here till the funeral home arrives to remove DH's body. I'll be OK- have already talked to DS and to my Dad, who's just been though all of this with my mother's passing on October 4. He died at home, without aggressive medical intervention, just as he wanted. I wouldn't have had it any other way. It's how people used to pass away before the medical industry intervened, with the added support of hospsice and plentiful quantities of morphine. At this point it's a relief for both of us. All I can offer is hugs.
