I'm sorry I wasn't clear Ani....
He already had broken ribs from the first attempt....this was the 3rd 'event' so I didn't let them revive him this last time..
I believe he had just hung on wanting to get home. He almost made it and did get to see his 'girls' at least.
old_cold - I wasn't sure if he had passed either. I'm glad he was able to get back home - I wish you all strength and all the best in these coming days. TG you have your daughter with you.

Yes, it sounds like he held on as long as he could.
It was time, his time, and he knew it.
Your advice and insight has helped me so much as a caretaker. Please know how grateful I am for your sharing with me.
Thinking of you. Please take some time for yourself. I know you are not big into hugs, but I am sending them anyway, as it is the only way I know to comfort long distance. If we were together, I would fix tea, dust furniture, plant some flowers and be very quiet while you rested. But I am not there. ((((hugs)))

I too am sorry for the loss of your husband. It must be gratifying that he made it home. I assume the "girls" are your daughters. Circle in and take your time every step of the way. It's like walking in a trance, with a guardian angel close by.

I'm so sorry. I think you are right, you understood. I hope you find some comfort and peace and that you heal in your own time and way.

I'd like to pretend that this due to my state of mind at this time but since it happened last year also, I can't.
Maybe others that are snowbirds experience that , if you haven't lived in a house a long time and then come back to it after having been away for many months, you don't know where things are.
Incorporating the idea of downsizing and organizing....I did a pretty big one last year just before we left and don't remember a lot of the 'new, better' places some things were put.
The kitchen clock is going to say 9:45 until I locate the battery stash. I told my daughter to ignore the dishes piling up, figuring it is a good time for the seldom used dishwasher.......but went I went to load it, realized I don't have one in this house.
old_cold, I send you prayers. The loss of my stepdad nearly two years ago and the recent loss of my aunt (both unexpected) has taught me volumes and renewed my faith.
And CD really helped me with grief, too.
The one thing I did learn that was most important was don't be angry at what was taken away, be thankful for all that you had. Letting go of the anger was key, for me.
The other thing was the departed want only your happiness, not writhing in sorrow.
old cold - You may think you don't like hugs but you do need a big one right now. Your world has been turned upside down. Let people do things for you - the clock can wait. Wish I were closer.
