Update on my husband

gidgetgh · ‎03-09-2010

I'm not strong enough emotionally to go into all of the details, but I wanted you all to know that I transferred my husband to hospice care this afternoon. It's not physically possible for me to do it at home as his dementia has taken full hold and he is combative at times, which breaks my heart, but I found a personal care home, very close to our house and he will be there, receiving hospice care. The wheels just really came off in the last two weeks.

I am absolutely devastated. We have been married for 29 years and have been together for 35 years. Losing him will just about kill me.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Oh @gidgetgh I'm sorry

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I can't even imagine what you're going through. Sending you hugs and holding you tight.

Very sorry to learn this sad turn of events. 😔

I’m so sorry @gidgetgh . You still have time with him and you can rest while others care for both of you.

@gidgetgh I am so sorry that you are going through this, but at least he is somewhere close and safe. It is important for you to take care of yourself.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!
