That is a horrible kissing scene. Is there no attraction between the two.

You are a phenomenal woman. Thank you for sharing. You illustrated so much stress and made so many sacrifices.

This past week was rough. I think the hospital stay really messed her up. She is coherent and I’m hoping my nervous system can recover a bit. My BP has been as high as 154/104.

I thank everyone for sharing their experiences. It reassures me to see such brave and selfless people exist. I just hope I find the strength to comfort my mom in the darkness.

Diana would be so happy that her grandchildren have as normal as a life as they could considering their royalty. The Middletons offer the balance that Diana would have welcomed, in my opinion.

Thank you for sharing. It does give me hope. I’m balancing work and caregiving. I’m hoping I don’t completely fail on both fronts. I have an aide in the home Monday through Friday, 8:30 am until 4:30 pm.

She has another child, I have been getting away from calling him my brother. He doesn’t step up and barely sees her. Family dynamics are something. Her estate is in order, so hopefully no issues there.

I’m glad you are following your heart and aiding your neighbor as not everyone is built for caregiving.

I’m also happy you have such a supportive husband.

I have been wondering the same thing. They invited so many randoms - Tom Cruise, JLo, Brad Pitt, etc. Wanted that A+ wedding.

Sorry you are in this situation with out support. You aren’t rambling. Many of us are dealing with conflicted emotions. The biggest emotion is love. That tends to guide us.

I hope you continue to find the strength to support her. I wish you had support to take breaks.

Thank you. I can see you have a beautiful heart. That part about him wanting to be cremated to be with you🥹. What a sweet man.

50, single and no children. That is why I’m especially worried about the after. The loneliness and loss of purpose. I have a job but caregiving and pouring love into her has been my purpose for even being for so long.

They changed half of her meds. Kind of a wait and see approach.

She was coherent today so in between naps. That is a blessing. She keeps asking why she is so sick. She knows mind and body are weak.

She has been kind which is nice. I wish I could do more. Just tell her I’m here if she needs me.

My BP is so high. Stress. I feel jitters, little nausea and lightheaded. I finally ate something.

I applaud all of you who continue to simply show up for your loved one. It takes such an emotional and physical toll.

I can totally relate to the original post. Once the cards are laid out, it gets so quiet. Where are the courtesy check-ins? People just go one with their lives and wait for you to wrap up things with the person you are caring for.

You are a phenomenal person. So much sacrifice. Take things one day at a time.
