@gidgetgh    It is so sad when a person's last days with his or her spouse must be spent with so much adversity when they should be happy.  I'm sorry you must so through this but it's good your hubby is in the hands of those who can administer to him.  I wish you well.

It sounds like you did the best thing possible.

gidgetgh,

My heart aches for you.  How well I understand what it is to feel the inevitable loss of  the life you had with your spouse.  It is an indescribably horrible feeling of doom and helplessness when you know your loved one will not recover.  Of course you hurt that he has had to be placed in hospice care.

During the period that I knew my husband was going to die, no matter what I or medicine hoped for, I felt as though a train was steaming toward us and could not be stopped.  Our life together would end.

If you pray, do a lot of that and speak with those you know who can help you be courageous at this demanding time.  You feel weak and tired and just want to drop, I know.  But you have to try your best to be strong.   

I will keep you and your dear husband in my prayers.

@gidgetghI'm sorry for what you are going through.   It's a difficult decision to make anytime, but especially now.  I hope you live in an area where you will be able to visit him in person.  Take care of yourself and know that you did what was best for both of you.

Continuing to pray for you both.

I am so sorry that you had to place your husband in a care home.

My dad too became combative at the end.

I hate Alzheimer's/dementia so much!

But as hard as it is to place our loved ones in care facilities, sometimes it's for the best.

They need more care than we can give them.
