Hi everyone
I am just trying to navigate myself around the site. Still struggling, but thought I would try and make a temporary place for the WTBT folk as we are all wandering round like lost souls at the moment- don't know if this will work- but worth a shot while Mac try and resurrect the old thread
Love Ali xxx
Pete
I too have followed your journey - having been down the same road - it is never any easier hearing of others loss.

Pete, my heart skipped a beat as I read your news. So sorry to hear it and hope Ali finds peace as she meets with so many of our partners. Take time now to sort your self out before you return to work, I went back far too early after 5 weeks and still feel exhausted both mentally and physically. My thoughts ans prayers are with you. I aim to be in reading In December, will let you know when.
Debs - glad to hear you feel much better but please do keep your promise to yourself and get checked out this week xx
Debs - hope Steve's funeral goes as well as possible
Love to everyone Joanna xxx
Pete I don't post on here,but I have followed some of your journey and my sincere condolences and heartfelt thoughts to you. May Ali be in perfect peace, free of all pain and forever with you in your heart and soul.

Pete - I am so shocked and so saddened to read your news. I cannot begin to imagine how you must be feeling. Numb to say the least I would imagine.
As you say, Ali will love you forever more, just as you will her. If this b***ard disease has taught me anything it is that love is eternal and it doesn't end at the last breath.
My heart goes out to you Pete, I've shared your journey and am in tears for you, Ali and for both of your families.
You have been beyond wonderful in the way that you have cared for Ali, Pete. A real inspiration.
With much love,
Naomi.xx

Pete,
So very sorry to read of your loss. I know it's hard and the days ahead will be difficult. Your Ali is finally at peace. Take comfort in that. Thinking of you......

Thank you all for your messages. I had a feeling that Ali's stop would come next on the train, but didn't think that out would be so quickly.
I don't know how other people feel immediately after the passing of a loved one, but I feel oddly calm and composed. I think it's because I've been living with Ali's deterioration for so very long that I'd accepted her passing before it happened.
Ali's last act of consious engagement was last Thursday when a close friend of hers visited with her young baby son. Ali made the effort to open her eyes and gently hold on to the baby's foot and wouldn't let go. It was as though she was saying "I approve and take care". From there, we largely lost her to unresponsiveness.
Pete,
My sincere sympathies. I have followed your story and Ali's for some time and your love for your dear Ali has shone through constantly.
As a life has to end it is good that it ends without pain and with loved ones surround them. I can only echo what Naomi has said; that you have been wonderful and an inspiration to us all.
With condolences,
Richard
Dear All,
Folowing your posts and thinking of you all.
Ange, I have tried to pm you, but I am not sure if it has been sent.
Pete, it is difficult to find the words, and others have expressed very eloquently what I am struggling to say, my thoughts are with you tonight along with many others on this site. Ali has been released and with this I can understand this must bring some calm for you at this point in time.
Love and best wishes,
Elaine B.K.
