......Maybe this is not the place to discuss my story regarding my husband and our struggles with ALS but honestly I have no where else to talk about it so please be patient. I have had some wonderful caring people direct message me with regards to our situation and they have given me strength and hope. Thank you! I am sure there are many caregivers out there in my situation who can relate to what I am saying and my hope is that perhaps they will see they are not alone in their struggles or feelings.
Cyn, I think you're one of the bravest and strongest ladies I've met here on City-Data. You aren't alone... we're all here for you to talk with as much as you like.
I popped in from the grief room, I was at one time lurking in this room, when I took care of my husband for seven years with Alzheimer's/cancer.
Please know you are in the right place and it is crucial to talk about all of your feelings. Don't bottle them up and try to deal with them on your own. We are here for you. You do whatever it takes for you, to be able to get through this, one day at a time.
My love and best to you and your husband during this time.
Hugs to you both,
Smilin
Cyn - I just found this thread and your story. I am so very sorry that you and your husband are going through this. Please know that you both are very much in my thoughts and prayers.
My mother's sister had Alzheimers and once she got hard for her elderly husband to handle, my uncles went to get my aunt and she lived with them (they all lived within sight of each other). THe brothers watched over their sister, the sisters in law washed, cleaned, and took care of her, and the grandchildren watched her so she didn't wander off.
When she got to the point, they put her in a home and it broke their hearts. family takes care of family. So she passed away after 25 years diagnosed.
Now my mother has it and lives with my sister. Sister took Mom to visit the remaining brother and my poor uncle had tears in his eyes as they left. To see his beloved remaining sister as she is broke his heart.
Good Morning Cyn.......hope that you had a good night's sleep and that at some point in the day....you find some moment of peace, strength, pleasant thought, to sustain you. We are all thinking of you
I don't know what to say--between the tears streaming down my face--you are all so wonderful and caring. I am so blessed. Yesterday I had to have a back tooth extracted so I didn't even go online and when I got up today and went to CD I was so suprised--and it felt to good to know others really do care. Again to each of you--the biggest THANK You I can say!
Cyn, I think you're one of the bravest and strongest ladies I've met here on City-Data. You aren't alone... we're all here for you to talk with as much as you like.

I know and I feel it--you and so many are sending such lovely postive thoughts and prayers--I feel them--I really do feel them and I am so grateful for each and every one of you!
