hi everybody ...im afraid to say that my husband passed away this morning in my arms .....he had been sleeping more and was complaining of pain and sickness .
when he woke up he couldnt breathe and was very wheezy .....we called 999 and they sent a team of paramedics who talked us through the whole process ...they were fantastic and were so helpful and made it easier for us to say goodbye to him ....
they were with us every step of the way and when he finally passed they told us gently and retreated to the hallway to give us time to say goodbye ...
we had been expecting it to happen ..but thats not the same as when it actually happens ....
to say im devastated is not even close to how i feel ...my daughter was with me every step on the way and we are both very tired and emotional at the moment ...
my brother came down to spend the day with us and we didnt feel so alone ...but at least now my husband is at peace and not in any pain ....
its been a rough journey for all of us but now its ended for him ....the paramedics were so brilliant and they have told us that they will contact the gp surgery about the death certificate which is one less burden for us ..
.take care everyone and enjoy what you can while you can
peace and love to everyone
