Yep. Been there. Done that. Do we need t-shirts?
I never really understood how hard caregiving can be on the caregiver until I had to do it.
And I still sometimes feel a twinge of guilt at seeing how much easier caregiving is for just one instead of two. I always figured that relief would come by getting my son into a group home or something similar. I never thought it would be from losing my wife.
Don’t worry, the twinge goes away when I think of how much better off my wife is now. She’s no longer in pain, she can hear again, and I like to think of her enjoying her childhood again with her parents and brother. They are all re-united again, as she was the last of the four to leave this mortal coil. Those were much simpler times for all of them.
