My significant other has passed away. Member since May 20, 2011I was able to take care of my significant other, the love of my life, until he passed. I thank God everyday for that. His decline was slow - started with colon cancer in 2006, then a heart attack 8 months later. In between that time the dementia started or that's when I noticed changes. He was the best patient, sweetest man I have ever known. He always cooperated with me and my helping him. In between all the years from 2006 to 2012, he had quite a few hospitalizations. They were for falls, internal bleeding due to ulcers. He was very unhappy when he had to go to rehab but learned to like everyone there. We always loved going out to dinner and did so at least once a week up until 3 weeks before he passed. Hospice came in 10 days before his passing and I was with him all the way. I held him while he passed and told him how much I love him. I still do. God bless his soul.
