Well Y'all I'm a caregiver too, I see the pain in my husbands eyes, when he sees me go to work, He was the SOLE supporter of our marriage.....Thank God...He feels so guilty, I see it in his eyes daily.....He has been turned down for his disability...even though he has worked everyday for the past 30 yrs, at the same job....sure he has retirement...but is it for this? Well it's become that...but that is not what you work your whole life for.....

I too have felt at the end of my rope.....Many times....who knows what the future holds for us? I sure don't...But my faith keeps me moving along.....I have to......I'm not ready to go down yet....but are any of us......I don't know the answers to any of these questions.....My motto usta be "I will never grow up~I'm having to much fun" Well was I ever wrong.....and YES it Suks.....But for me today, this is life....I have to live with it.....I love my husband...and I know without a doubt he loves me.....He went threw me getting off drugs, >pot< in 92, and i relapsed many times....he did'nt quit loving me, he did'nt leave me....because he was commited to me....jus as I am for today commited to him.....who knows where i'm going with this conversation....lmao... I sure don't....

This topic just hit home in ALL the post......as I read I cried....as I cry I get tired.....but were all in the same boat.....The caregiver, and the patient.....What do we do?
We just have to keep plugging at it....Praying, and hoping that things will eventually get better.....I feel Hopeful that they will...... I have to believe this!
