horace lost his battle with als dec. 3, 2oo8
hello all.
i guess by now most of you know that my beloved husband, horace, lost his battle
with als on dec. 3rd. i was by his side, holding his hand when he drew his last
breath. i had never seen anyone die before, and i cannot get that last 30 minutes
out of my mind now. i am hoping that at some point i will be able to only remember
the healthy husband and our good times together, and get the image of what
he looked like at the end out of my head.
als is the worst disease known to man. every other disease has some type
of treatment, some type of hope. not als. it is a death sentence. no one should
have to be alert in mind, and watch their bodies deteriorate.
what he suffered and what i suffered should not happen to anyone. i thank
all my friends here in the forum for helping me through this. i came here for
most of my information, and all of my support and encouragement.
God bless you all.
