a good death

Less than one minute read time.

Sadly my Husband did die not long after my last post dated 15th July. The doctor was right the end came ten days later. His death could not have been sweeter. At home close family gathered through the day, with the murmur of our conversation washing over him. Everyone giving him reassuring and unconditional love. He passed away just before midnight as I was dozing....the room because quite. No more the sound of laboured breathing. He had gone, but only just. Temperature still normal. I'm so please we had this intimate time alone together. My Man of forty years had left his body. I rang the district nurse as instructed, then got on the bed so close beside him. Snuggling, loving him and reminiscing our life over with a grateful heart. The cancer hell had finished. Grateful for our marriage, children and grandchildren. Putting the unpleasant to one side I go forward alone with a heart full of love and cherished memories <3
