Decision to let sick person go

Thank you . You are right I just could not look at him in his distress, knowing from doctors that he is in multiple organ failure and that was nothing more they could do for him. But its still so painful and empty.

@phylc Thank you.

sorry for your loss Jo and what you had to go through. i had a similar letting my wife go and almost could not bring my life back together for some time. sending you prayers for your family and for you. if and when you would like to reach out to me for questions or just friendly support feel free to message me. might take a bit to get back to you but i will. for now sending prayers------and faith--- sent.

Thank you for your message. Today marks two weeks since my husband passed away. I’m not coping well. Everything still feels so difficult, and I keep wondering if there will come a time when this becomes more bearable for me. My time before was full from morning to night with care of my husband, now there is just emptiness and guilt. So difficult. My best friend is gone. Your words that you manage to pass through similar problem gave me some comfort. Still I am totally lost .

You will be lost for some time, you may think your going crazy, ( I was like that with mum) the only cure is time (((((((((((((((((((((( hugs and strength to you )))))))))))))))))))))))))

Next day, next sorrow, I got His ashes delivered to my home, and His death certificate as well. Multiple organ failure, main culprit Covid, still killer still active. Please be aware and try to avoid the infection.
I know it was not my fault, but I am looking for someone to blame, and I am on the front line. Maybe he could have more time with us, maybe weeks... I know its not realistic, but this thinking stays with me all the time.
My day starts with talk to my husbands, good nights before bedtime, and multiple conversation through the day, solo conversations, I need to tell him everything.
Rest in peace my darling. tomorrow is next day.

@jo55 my late wife Jo also my best friend and all that you described is similar, i even blamed myself for a while, my sister and family struggled to get me through that time. Married 26 years plus. not a day goes by that i don't think of her or special moments, family gatherings, everything. praise be for memories and compassion to be able to do what you never imagined possible. i will send prayers for comfort in these hard times and days. May you find a peace in family to carry on. Have a blessed day-----prayers sent.

@jo55 little things, memories, that stare or smile. smell on his pillow or a thousand comfort thoughts and passions, like the smell of a flowing creek that tint in the air of crispness and running brook. i can pass someone that wears a perfume that was all mine and it opens flood gates of joy. i have called her name to others by mistake and smiled knowing she still sees me and isn't that far away whenever i think of her. same for you Jo, enjoy all the private smiles and things you would share even if they seemed dumb at the time , still brought a good feeling and fonder time. that's it for now but if you need me just message me. this week is harder than last and next bunch of days can be rough but we are strong at this time Ps surround yourself with love of family and sending prayers for your comfort=========sent have a blessed day.

I had to make that decision for my father and it is difficult during and after. I know the guilt feelings as I still question it and it has been 5 years now. I believe that this is part of the grieving process. Hang in there and take it a day at a time. The physical body is only one part of this infinite journey we take. The soul/consciousness remains forever.

Thank you for the like and helpful
