[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] Jason speaks the truth. And your support means more to her than the support of anyone else does, I'm willing to bet. You're in a though spot. So is she. It's SO hard being the sick person, there's no doubt, but people often forget how hard it is to be on the other side of the illness as well. Who cares for the caregiver? As you are being the support and the pillar of strength, who is there to reinforce you and tell you that everything you are doing is right? From what you've said and the things you've aluded to over the years, you have been an amazing husband and companion to your wife. I don't think you give yourself the credit you deserve for that. So many people would have turned and run by now... if you look at her history, there may very well BE friends or family member that just couldn't take her illnesses anymore and DID turn and run. That's a difficult thing to endure, but it's something that you have never done. This Speaks volumes for you as a man and as a husband. I'm glad you told us what you are dealing with right now, because it IS a heavy situation, to say the least. I do want to help you, but alas, I cannot fix it. My words of hope for brighter days and new beginnings will only go so far, and I'm well aware of that, but I do want you to know that you're doing a great job, and that you have every right to feel tired, frustrated with the situation (the illness, not your wife, I understand), upset that she's so ill, or anything else that you feel. This is completely normal, IMHO. As for your wife, she sounds like a real trooper, but I'm sure she has her down days as well. I don't blame her.... I think anyone would, but from what you've said, she's a true fighter who has handled all of this with more grace and courage than most people would be able to muster. I give her props for that... she truly deserves them. Please take care and just try to just be there for her. It's important though not to forget about yourself... we don't want you to lose Lee in the shuffle! I hope things turn around for both of you soon in this difficult situation... you've always got a sounding board here at Flare *hugs* ~Liz [/QB][/QUOTE]
