Death

Crow I am sorry for your loss. As others have said, do think that he has had a chance to help others and that he was doing what he enjoyed at the time, it might help you knowing that.

So sorry for your loss Crow

I too am so very sorry, yet so - I can't find the words. Impressed? By your ability to let some of him go on living, to bring life to someone else, as my own family can't understand my own wishes on this subject.

I do hope it brings you some comfort.

Crow, no words.......... just heartfelt sympathy.

So sorry to hear about your dear husband. My dear husband died in 2012. It's such a shock. You may find comfort on the pages dealing with widowhood. My thoughts are with you

Sorry for your loss but sounds like your DH leaves a great legacy. Thinking of you

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I hope your happy memories will be a comfort to you in times to come. Take care and keep in touch with Gransnet friends.

I'm new on here, so I don't know any of you, and it is so sad that the first time I come across you, Crow, is in a thread such as this. My heart goes out to you.

Oops, I meant to say there was a bit missing.

You are correct Anna I am in a bit of a muddle just now.
Thank you for all the comforting messages. I appreciate them so much.

Thanks for the responses. I was showing my ignorance, I couldn't work out how someone who died on the golf course also had a ventilator.

Very brave post crow you have my admiration and my donor card is safely tucked in my purse.

my sympathy crow .x

I am sorry for your loss Crow. Hope some of these messages will help in some small way

Sincere condolences Crow, your love for your husband shines through your post.

Very sad news Crow, you have my Condolences.

Thoughts are with you at this sad time x

So sorry to read your sad news Crow.

from me too. I have eMailed you

Crow may I also add my condolences on your loss.

My sincere condolences Crow. As you say he brought life into the world and is continuing to give life to others through his transplanted organs . Speaking as the wife of a man who would have died 18 years ago were it not for DH's successful liver transplant I am so grateful on the recipients' behalf. Thank you

I think that perhaps there was a bit of text missing in Crow's OP, ie 'the ventilator keeping my beloved husband of almost 51 years alive was turned off and he died.'

That was my interpretation, anyway.

((((hugs))))

Crow said that she was hoping her DH's organs could be used in transplant Grannyknot so without going into too much detail I think perhaps that was why there was a ventilator involved.

I think Crow is being very brave and dignified bringing up the subject of possible organ transplant. There are so many people in desperate need.

So sorry for your loss crow Comforting to know that he was enjoying himself and that he has given hope to other people, but very hard for you after so long together.
