For anyone still reading this blog, who hasn't heard from another source, my husband Ken died last week on 26th October. He has had COPD for nearly 20 years, but the past couple of years have been hard for him, as his heart and lungs deteriorated. He was at home having palliative care for the last few months, as I didn't want to send him to hospital or a nursing home, as I could care for him just as well at home, and he wanted to be home anyway. While I am sad and will miss him, after 43 years of marriage, it was a bonus having him 20 years after the first heart attack, as I was told he probably wouldn't last for another year. Also, being with him when he died peacefully, was better than in a hospital.
