Bless your heart. I'm so sorry this has happened. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that it will be difficult. I PRAY that you will have a support system and also people who will step in so you can have some respite as you will NEED IT. I cared for my terminally ill husband for 6 months, and ALL our friends seemed to disappear -- none of them would watch him for an hour or two so I could run errands cause they "couldn't take it." It was "too hard on THEM." Good grief, how would they like to LIVE with it, and watch THEIR spouse die???

So I pray you have better friends than I did. And I pray your family will help out too!! A caregiver MUST get away for awhile or they'll simply go crazy from exhaustion, both mental and physical.

I wish you the very best. Please remember to take care of YOU too. And contact Hospice -- they are NOT just for the terminally ill, from what I've been told. They can send some respite helpers, plus nurses & aides to help you.

God bless and I'll keep you in my prayers. Hugs, Lee
