OT: Off topic-Update on my wife.

[Madmannsucks]

Good morning-so many of you reached and supported me during a most difficult period. My wife ended her battle with Dementia on Tues Feb 9th. She outlived her hospice prognosis by around 20 months-her struggle got to be too much and she was surrounded by her family to draw her last breath. Appreciate all the kind words and many of you reaching out to me privately. Her obit can be viewed at Legacy.com (Nancy Daoust).

By the way, she WAS a Huskie fan, and OUR greatest moment was "It's late, it's great, It's Tate" We jumped for joy and hugged during that one.

So sorry to hear of your loss. My wife lost her mother to Alzheimers and I can empathize with the struggle your wife went through. May she RIP.

The world does not have enough people like you and your wife. I’m truly sorry that there’s one fewer now.

Be well.

 

[HHusky]

My sympathy to you and your children.

 

[Northbound]

Very sorry for you loss - your love for her was easy to see whenever you posted about her - we should all be so lucky to have that type of relationship with another person.

Be well.

So young. I'm very sorry for your loss. It's wrongly assumed that only the elderly can be impacted by dementia. Hopefully, scientific advances will lead to a cure soon to prevent the loss of precious loved ones. Rest in peace.

 

[Kitaman]

Sorry for your loss. Our 'likes' are a display of support and certainly not to the news.

 

[Scoe]

Sending my deepest thoughts and condolences to you and your family.

Pretty much the only time Connecticut Yankees and Red Sox fans are on the same page. Your moment resides in all of us now.

 

[Rico444]

So sorry for your loss. From what I remember of past postings, you've been a terrific partner to your wife, and it sounds like she was equally great. I'm glad she's at peace and hope you're able to get some small comfort from that fact.

 

[Kathy]

My condolences- her fight is over and she is at peace. You were a great life partner for her.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Sorry for your loss Madmannsucks. This last year has been incredibly hard on those suffering from dementia and their loved ones. Have experienced it too and it is awful. The forced isolation rapidly accelerates the progression of dementia/Alzheimer's.

 

[David 76]

James, so sorry to hear this. Know that you have some goofy on!INE friends that truly care.

 

[UCfor3]

So sorry for your loss. Condolences to you and your family. RIP

so sorry to hear of your loss. I also lost my wife in 1999 and often reflect on the great memories surrounding UConn basketball shared with her; The Shot and the first National Championship among many others. One thought I can offer is that your memories will become softer with time and you will dwell less on the Alzheimer ravages and more on the positive memories of sharing your life together.

So sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and your family.
