Paul, my husband passed this morning. He was well medicated and his passing was peaceful. He is free and at peace. I thought I had had a lot of anticipatory grief, but find I am unprepared for his passing. His decline seemed so sudden at the end. I never thought we would have Christmas 2022 together, or his birthday in January or Valentine's Day. These were all gifts to us. I miss him very much already. We would have been together 31 years in June. Thanks to all who supported us these last few years.

You can never anticipate what the "after" feels like, Mary. I am glad you were with him, following his wishes, and he was at peace.

I'm so sorry, Mary. I'm glad Paul went in peace, and I hope you can find peace too in the coming days, weeks, months, knowing you were there for him every step of the way and how much that must have meant to him. Take care of yourself.

Mary, I'm so sorry for what both you and Paul have been through. You were such a good caregiver and knowing that will last forever. Paul was blessed to have you by his side for this whole illness.

Please take care of yourself.
