My best friend and 35 year companion died today. My wife fought ALS for five years and was lively up until yesterday. She said she was tired, went to sleep yesterday evening, and passed today. I was able to have a priest give her last rites late last night and she was happy to see him. Going forward, everything is a fog for me now. We’ve known that her disease was terminal, but still it hits hard. 😢😭

My heart filled condolences to you sir. Sorry for your loss. Please know that this O.T.T family is thinking of you. Stay strong but don’t be afraid to grieve when you need. Just lost my wife in a divorce, my dad has his second leg amputated to diabetes and just lost my mom last month. Your not alone

Condolences Sir, we recently lost our favorite BIL to ALS.
It's an insidious disease.

It is indeed because there is no hope of survival or cure. And every month the disease progresses, robbing the patient of more independence.

Words are never enough in these moments, but I'm sorry to hear of your wife's passing. Queen Elizabeth II summed up loss so astutely when she said "Grief is the price we pay for love." All the best to you in the days, weeks and months ahead.

Condolences.

By God. Sir. Wishing you find peace and strength at this difficult time.

You have my deepest sympathy. There are no words. I am sure she was so proud of you and lucky to have you in her life. Do your best.

Jyoutz I am so deeply sorry for this unbearable loss you have suffered.

This weighs more heavily on my heart than expected. To shed a tear for a brother whom I don't even know is something that has become more and more common as I get older.

I have prayed for you this morning, and will continue to, that you find peace and comfort.

And KNOW, that because of Jesus, she is in the greatest place she could ever possibly be. No pain, no sickness only praise and happiness.

And you will, without a doubt, MOST DEFINITELY see her again!

Be strong my brother,

Brandon

I can honestly say I feel your pain as my bride of 58 years is in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s and it hurts every day to see her slip away may you find peace
