My wonderful husband has passed away. I am beside my self. He was the love of my life the best husband and friend I could ever wish for. I havent been on the site much lately because he has been ill. I know he is in a better place and I would not wish him back but oh how it hurts.

I thank you all for your support, and you really have supported me in the last few years. I wish you all well and I will pop in from time to time. Love to you all Ann (Billybags)

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.

Oh, bb, I am so sorry to hear that your wonderful husband and friend has passed away. I know that your heart is broken, and I wish I had some magic words to help you through this. You know that you will be in our thoughts, and in our hearts.   :grouphug;

We have such mixed emotions when a loved one who has been suffering for so long with a chronic illness passes on.  We feel so sad and lonely for ourselves because we have suffered a great loss, yet we are grateful that the pain and illness are now over.  I am so sorry that you are hurting; I know it is very difficult.  We are with you and are hoping that, very soon, the good memories of happy days with your husband will supplant your profound feelings of loss.  Please let us know how we can help you.  :grouphug;

Oh, Billybags, I'm so sorry.  But, yes he is in a better place and you will meet again.  You are such a support to all of us.  I hope you can find it in your heart to stay and help others with the knowledge you have living with a person on dialysis.  You understand and are such a positive person.
