Many kind GNers have expressed their love and concern and said prayers for my OH after I told on the "Prayer" thread of his being hit by a car and seriously injured.

Sadly, there is no good news to report. Despite the skill and care of the dedicated team in ICU at Queens Medical Centre, his injuries proved insurmountable and the decision was made, with the full and informed support of Daughter and me, to withdraw life support.

I held his hand, that loving hand, as he died and know that we were right to let him suffer no further pain. But now I have to face a future without my best friend at my side and have no idea if or how I will cope.

The awfulness is compounded by the requirement for a Home Office post mortem which means it will be at least another week before we can have the death certificate and begin the turgid process of registering the death, notifying all and sundry bureaucratic bodies and arranging a funeral.

I know that many of you have trod this road before me and so will understand the lonely, lonely prospect of waking every day without him. Daughter, friends, neighbours, even the police are all wonderfully kind but nothing will ever make up for knowing that loving, gentle and steadfast man is gone forever and I will never hear his voice again.
Farewell, my darling.

Scribbles I don't think I've ever read such a moving tribute on the loss of a dear husband. He was very special. Take care of yourself as he would have wished. flowers

I am so sorry to hear your sad news Scribbles and am thinking about you and your family.
Many years ago I lost my young husband in similar circumstances and just want to send love and strength to you.
Some one said to me at the time " I wish you strength but remember you don't have to be strong all the time... be kind to yourselfthanks

How very tragic to lose your husband in such a dreadful manner. I am sorry I did not see your earlier post but please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss.

This morning I am having coffee with a dear friend whose husband was killed by a taxi as he was crossing the road at the airport on 28th Dec. They had just returned from a lovely holiday with family and he was going to fetch the car from the car park when tragedy struck.

I wish you the courage you need to press on, and hope you have plenty of support to help you through. flowers
