My name is Robert, I am Marianne Scullin's husband.
I don't know how active she has been on this site recently but I know she has talked with some folks here.
I am sorry to say that I lost her on Tuesday night, Jul. 20. I am barely able to write this I am so devasted.. she was the love of my life. We would have been married 32 years come Oct. My only relief is the knowledge her nightmare of pain is over.
I wish ALL of you the best, I understand your plight.. believe me. If anyone wants to get in touch I can be reached at [email protected]

Goodness, I am so sorry. Yes, she was one of the members of our board here who was definitely struggling, and I wished that I could have been of more help.

So very sorry for your loss. It is good that you reached out. It must be such a lonely and scary place to see your loved one so sick and struggling with the damage this awful disease can do. Hoping you will be comforted by many here, who understand. May God bless you and yours.

This is such a shock, Robert, I can't imagine how shocked and sad you must feel.
Was there much warning? Not that that makes is better, simply that you are slightly more prepared. But how prepared can we ever be to lose a beloved spouse?
I send love and blessings to you, to your whole family, and to her soul. I didn't know that she was in danger of dying. Well, I've been there plenty myself, so I can understand.
Please know that she was loved and respected on this forum. We're a family who cares. We've all been through this tough disease complex with more pain than we think we can bear often.

My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your beloved wife. She certainly fought a valiant fight and was blessed to have you - a wonderful, caring husband.
Even though your heart is broken, I pray you find comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain.
May the Prince of Peace give you the peace that "surpasses all understanding".
