Remembering my Husband
My husband passed away on Jan 20th 2011. Very aggressive Lung Cancer, we were officially diagnosed in Oct 2010. We had a very intense 3 year soulmate lovestory journey. We both knew that we were put in each others lives for a reason, he gave me a freedom I never knew before and a chance to travel the US and I was here to walk him through his final journey. No regrets.............I am very grateful for this forum and hospice for giving us a great ending. He was able to die at home comfortably.…See More

"Hi Tamie,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Stay here as long as you need to. I think the Caregiver Corner is a good place for that. If you feel up to it, tell us more about him on the Memory Wall.
I know that hospice was there towards the end.…"
