Re: My wife
Hello Mike
I too am so sorry to hear of the issues with you and Diana i sincerely hope that possibly in time things may get better , with all the Medications and Treatments they now have these days it is highly possible that things can improve!
Stay strong and try very hard as i am sure you have to just be patient with her at this very difficult time!
Its something that many cannot understand , but we have had a little experience with our dear Mother, not the same i know as with ones Spouse.
My thoughts are with you and i will say a Prayer hoping that it may help
Take Care and Stay Safe
Regards
PS PM Sent Mike !

Re: My wife
My thoughts are with you and your wife Mike.It can be very difficult at times -but there will often be surprising little moments of recognised joy between you that only a couple can share.You can never feel guilty or have regrets about how you treated a partner in their illness,because you will always know you did your best just for them- and nobody but you could have treated them any better.

Just adding my sympathy for your wife's terrible condition which seems to be affecting an increasing number of our senior citizens, stay strong for her and yourself.

Hello Denis
As with Mike above, i too feel for you , it is a very sad time for those that have to go through such a Heart breaking experience, i dont know what i would do in such a situation, the Lord forbid that i wont ever have to.
So you too be strong and just take one day at a time , as you say not much that can be done!
You and Yours too will be in my thoughts and Prayers!
Stay Safe and Take Care!
