Just know I'm a phone call away if it ever would help & you're surrounded with lots of warm, virtual hugs!Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16725341449030070385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634299871576678677.post-53535187543258319972015-11-01T19:41:24.984-05:002015-11-01T19:41:24.984-05:00What can I say that the lovely ladies ahead of me ...What can I say that the lovely ladies ahead of me haven't already said. My heart breaks for you. This disease is so horrible and destroys everything you hold dear. This isn't your sweet husband talking, it's the disease. He's confused too and probably scared because he doesn't understand what is happening to him. I still think you did the right thing. I have put you both on my prayer list. Take care, sweet lady!

I am asking God to give you strength, peace and comfort and the same for your DH! What a burden you are carrying, but you know HE is right there ready to lift you up! so lean on Him! Heart Hugs!

It will take time for hubby to settle but once he does things will get so much easier for you . Dad would stand at the front door of the NH with his bag packed and demand that someone take him home every morning but eventually as his illness progresed he forgot where home was and told us that where he was was the best place ever to be. Sending you huge virtual hugs my friend and keeping you in my thoughts constantly. Love and more hugs Mrs A. <br />p.s. Can understand you being on tender hooks when you visit hubby too. We were nervous wrecks in the first few months (he kept asking when was he going home) in case one of us let slip we had had to sell the bungalow in order to pay for his nursing home fees so there are never ever any going back for him anyway.

Hurts deep down....but you are doing what needs to be done. There are many around you that have your back. When my husband had a breakdown....every step I took, I asked God what to do and he directed my paths and gave me strength with each step. Look for God in every detail, and the greatest part is knowing that Jesus is praying for you, even now. God never gives us more then we can handle. <br /><br />At this point though, I might be saying "I have had enough God" You are a stronger woman then I am. Praying for you...and friends are an important part of this, and you have many. Keep looking up. <br /><br />Cards4ubylouise......looks like I am back to anonymous again!!!! :( knew it was too good to be true!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634299871576678677.post-67489814804363638342015-10-31T13:06:26.210-04:002015-10-31T13:06:26.210-04:00Oh Brenda, I am so sorry.

Hopefully he will get settled in so that it will be easier for you. I hope you are taking care of yourself, too so you don't get worn down.

He is not himself any longer, but in his heart and yours he is the same man you love and who loves you. I hope you find the strength to tell your nearby friends so they can come and comfort you for those of us who are too far away to do so. You need your RL friends, honey, especially if you stop sharing with your bloggie friends. This is not a journey you should take without friends. I'm so glad you have your family, but you need friends, too, at a time like this.

Stay strong, knowing that you have done the best thing for your hubby. As Di said, it will take him a little while to settle into his new surroundings and for the drs to get his medication adjusted. I hope each day gets a little easier for you.

My guess is that this is a settling in period and hopefully the NH will adjust your hubby's meds to keep him calmer (without knocking him out altogether). Feeling really helpless all these miles away but thinking of you loads and sending love and hugs.<br /><br />Di xxDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.com
