My husband wanted to die at home as he didn’t want to be apart from his 6 dogs and 5 cats.

I’m sure they were more important than me at times, I was the one doing all the unpleasant things to him. 
Im so glad that he found peace surrounded by his beloved dogs and myself. It was also beneficial for the dogs to know that he hadn’t just left them. They all checked him and are dealing with it in their own ways.

I couldn’t resist taking a photo of him watching tv, sitting on the edge of the bed, with two dogs beside him, all watching his beloved telly.

I miss him so much, but there is so much comfort in the fact that I was able to care for him at home.

  • Love to you too, you did your absolute best. They leave a big hole behind. It was a relief when my Mother's suffering came to an end. 4 yrs ago now, never stop missing her in some way. Blessed she stayed with me till 86. Xxxxx


  • I’m deeply sorry for your loss. It sounds like your husband found comfort in being surrounded by the animals he loved, and that bond must have meant so much to both of you. The photo you mention is such a beautiful, poignant moment that captures the love and connection between him and his dogs. I hope that as you navigate through this difficult time, you can find some peace in knowing he was surrounded by love, both from you and his furry companions. If you ever want to share more or talk, I’m here.
