Remembering Dom this Christmas
Tracey Thurlby-McDevitt from Allenton will be remembering her late husband Dom with a light.
Dom, 44, died in February from cancer. The couple were told Dom had only six months left to live on the anniversary of their first date. The day after receiving his shock diagnosis, Dom proposed to Tracey, and the couple married five weeks later.
Tracey has shared her story for the Light up a Life appeal, as part of Dom’s ‘legacy’ and to thank Treetops Hospice for support at the very end of his life.
Treetops Hospice nurses helped care for Dom during his last three nights. They provided the couple with ‘comfort and peace at a time when I was terrified’, Tracey explained.
One of my worries for months had been doing it all on my own, especially towards the end. With the Treetops Hospice nurses, I wasn't on my own. They were just on the end of the phone. It was so reassuring.
“There were times when I was Dom’s nurse and his carer. But for those few nights, Dom needed a wife, and I could be his wife again.”
