Hi ~ I was just like that when my husband died. I knew for about 6 months that he was going to die, but I still couldn't but my mind around it. I nursed him until he died. It just tore me apart.

I spoke with a grief counselor. Being one on one was the best thing for ME to do. Perhaps that would work for you too. Call Hospice and ask to speak to one of their grief counselors - they are trained in this and are excellent!! They will be happy to talk with you as often as you need it.

Please give them a call. You won't regret it. God bless and Take care. Hugs, Lee
