This morning I had to say goodbye to my wonderful DH who has battled heart failure and bladder cancer so very bravely. When he developed sepsis we knew the best thing was to bring him home from hospital so he could be at peace with us and his beloved JR Peggy at his side.

We couldn't have achieved this without Hospice at Home who went above and beyond to support us and make sure his final two weeks were spent with comfort and love.

I now have to come to terms with it all. It's not that I wasn't expecting it and I'm relieved his suffering is over but s many of you already know, it's going to be tough.

Oh Merlot, what unbearable sadness for you, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It was brave to post as you did - but you'll know that you're in everyone's thoughts and hearts. How lovely that he was at home with you at the end. Take care and please take all the help and support you are offered now and whenever you need it. ???

Such sad news Merlotgran I hope the messages on here have been a tiny crumb of comfort, we will all be thinking of you.

Hospice at home is such a wonderful service, I volunteer for the local one here, it is a shame more parts of the Country don't have access. The hospice will still be there for you in the days and weeks ahead, providing counselling and complementary therapy should you be able to make use of them, do keep in touch with them.

So sorry to hear your sad news Merlotgran. I know from experience that even though you know a loved one is near the end of their life, it is still a huge shock when they pass. Hopefully having him home for his last weeks with you and his beloved dog is a comfort to you. Take care, you are in all our thoughts. thanks
