Tonight I Gave the Love of My Life Permission To Die

in life •  7 years ago 

Lol, my husband just messaged me a podcast he'd like me to listen to, he's got no hope, I'm too much of an emotional wreck to be listening to a podcast, but I'm an emotional wreck with a smile on my face too!

Thank you... my Dad held on for so long. So, so long... we had the nurses telling us that something was keeping him here. For over a week I was telling him it was okay to go. My Mum tried to tell him but it was something she struggled to do. The night he passed I had a private conversation with him (or talk rather since he couldn't talk back) but it was after that talk that everything changed. I knew he was okay then, everything changed within himself and I knew. It was no more than 30 minutes later and he left us. It was good though, he needed to, we needed him to. He'd done his fight. All I could say after he passed was good job Dad. In many ways I was relieved... it was nice to know he was no longer suffering.

All my family can relate, my kids went through a lot of it too. It's real life, it's part of life. I also knew my husband would love to hear about the encounters Brian had with his past family and pets, that is really incredible!

Yep that's 3, I'm done! Hahaa... we'll see. : )

You're sweet to be listening to a podcast with a smile on your face!

We really are doing a favor to our loved ones who are suffering by "letting them go". I can imagine how difficult it was for you to do that, but your dad needed to know that you would be ok. It was his job his whole life to protect you and your mom and the whole family, so he needed to hear you say that all of you would alright.

Fingers crossed that's 3! I'm done too:)

You are so right... and as hard and as difficult as it is, in some ways you feel relieved, well I did. We always want what's best for our loved ones and I found comfort in knowing that his struggle was over. It doesn't take away the pain of losing them but I think I coped a lot better afterwards because of it. Sometimes we just have to do what we know we need to do. Through that time though I found strength within that I never knew I had. It's amazing what we can do when we're faced with situations.

However... your amazing man is still here : ) you should stop talking to me and go and hold him every moment you can. xx

Crossing my fingers too!

haha I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm looking at him now thinking how lucky I am!
