Default I feel for both of you

I was the care giver for my wife who had Alzheimer's for about five years. At times I lost my composure and got cranky. Oh how I wish that I could relive those moments and change my attitude. She passed away two weeks ago. Would he like to swap situations? My only consolation w2as that we were married 66 years..............Woody

I am so sorry about your wife. I am sure she felt so blessed to have your care for so long.

I'm so sorry about your wife. 66 years is a long time. You two were lucky to have each other!

I really don't know what he'd say if I asked him if he'd trade places with me. He'd probably say something like that he'd be able to heal himself by now, or something just as horrible and insensitive. He had his first migraine about a year ago, after seeing me suffer for years, but it's a really good question to ask him.

I am so sorry for your loss Woody. It must be so difficult for you. 66 years is a blessing. You must have really loved one another.
