    Deepest sorrow for you @Hostafan1.  Of course you wanted to be with him at the end and it is so sad that you couldn't be.  Much love to you and your poor aching heart. x

    Lost for appropriate words Hosta. I’m so sorry for what you've been through this last year.  
    I hope your next period settles down and that you can re-build your life.  Lots of love from me.

    My sincere condolences @Hostafan1   You did everything perfectly.  You couldn't have done more.  Bon vent to your husband.

    I don’t know you @Hostafan1, but I have thought of you, worried for you and been sad for you. 

    I hope the love and memories you shared with your dear husband over the years will somehow comfort you in the time to come.

    I'm so sorry to hear your news @Hostafan1. Your husband knew how much you loved him but I doubt he would have known if you were there at the end. You have been a wonderful husband to him, he has now left the pain and suffering behind.

    So sorry for your loss @Hostafan1
    I'm not certain time heals a loss like that, but time morphs how you perceive it. You'll go through all sorts of emotions, but you'll come through the other end.

    Time definitely helps. I lost my OH in 1998. The first year was the worst, then over the years life re-started and became good again.

    I agree with @Busy-Lizzie , we lost my dear brother suddenly & unexpectedly , I was angry and lost for a long time.  Yours has been a long long goodbye, there will be a void, but hopefully you can fill it gradually over time. Look after yourself now @Hostafan1.
