Thank you for your response. Sadly, my husband passed away on Sunday Feb 23 at the hospice Good Samaritian House. I drove him there on Wednesday, got to visit with him on Friday and we were planning to up on Sunday when I got the call that he had passed. So I never got the chance to tell him good bye. I knew before he went there that he was nearer to the end. I did not want him to die at home and I wasn't able to give him the care he needed. The Good Samaritan house were able to give him more pain meds to keep him comfortable, and they could bathe him and he had to have a catheter in. This place had 10 beds but he was the only patient there at that time. So he had the undivided attention of the nurses. They were so kind and had a wonderful faith in God. He could not have been in a better place. We had the funeral yesterday and it went well. As well as a funeral could go. Today, I am just sitting in my pajamas feeling rather numb. I know there will be lots of paperwork but with the Lord's help, I will get through it. Thank you again.

So sorry for your loss. 🫂

@denise96 I’m so very thankful (for both you and your husband) that your husband was in such a great caring place towards the end of his illness and when he passed 🙏♥️ Such a shock though still when the end comes, and a relief he’s no longer in pain and struggling.

Sending you big hugs and prayers while you navigate this next difficult stage. I’m glad you have such a strong faith to support you through it 🙏❤️‍🩹

So sorry for you loss! Hugs!

I am so sorry for your loss
