Susan

With a heavy heart I had to place Susan in a nurseing facility today. Due to Dimentia/Alzhiemers,Brittle type one diabetis and a broken back,I could no longer care for her at home. She has been diabetic for
35years. The dimentia started a little over 2 years ago. The move into the new house a year and half ago just turned her unside down. She fell and broke her back (compression fracture L1) a little over 3
months ago.The last month has been hell. The last two weeks even worse. We have been waiting for a room to open up. Those places are in short supply here with a waiting list.I'm currently just numb. Feeling
relieved. And missing her,knowing she will probably never come home again.But we have had almost 38 good years together.Thanks for listening. Steve.

Sorry to hear the bad news! Ron MN

Sorry to hear that- keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear that Steve. Glad we got to meet both of you the other year. My mom has dimentia. NOT a fun thing to deal with. Prayers for both of you. Need someone to talk to call me. If you don't have my # anymore let me know. Richard

Sorry to hear that. My prayers are for you and your family.

So very sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers for you both.

So very sorry to hear that. But I know you've done all you could.

Same story happened with my folks. Dad was battling multiple cancers and, like you, got to where he could no longer lift her. And when the doctors told him that they could do nothing more for him, that he'd be dead in 6 months, he put her in a home and tried a Hail Mary by trying to get "cured" through some little hole-in-the-wall in California. Less than 2 days after getting there, he collapsed on the floor, paralyzed from the waist down due to an unknown tumor on his spine. So then these so-called specialists ran him through their antiquated radiation machine. Ended up burning his esophagus. Made it so he could no longer eat or drink. He was dead a month later.

Mom was still in the nursing home. The move there for her was a tough one as she would have these moments of clarity, would see where she was and would know why, then she'd start crying. The more time that passed, the less that happened. She just kept reverting into earlier and earlier parts of her life while the modern life just drained away. I was actually thankful when she died. She had zero quality of life. Her life had already ended, but her body had not.

Prayers for you and yours. That's a nasty, miserable place to be in for both of you!

I will pray for both of you. This is a rough thing to go through.

You have my very best. I had a similar experience a few years ago with my mother. It was hard on the heart, but we all did what we could for her.

Sorry, Steve. A family friend had to do the same last year. It's a heart wrenching thing.

I am so sorry, God bless, I'll have a prayer for you both.

Saw my wifes father go through the entire Alzheimers process. Very difficult. My prayers are with you and your family.

Prayers sent.

You have done the best you can for her. She will still be a big part of your life.Life has changed for both of you but it still can be good, but different. Enjoy your time both with her and apart from her. Best wishes.

I pray that the Lord bless both of you with peace, and both physical and mental comfort.

Prescott and I hold fondest memories of our short time together. There is blessing in the half lifetime spent working and making a go of life with Susan. The hard part is the sense of personal loss. You are strong and blessed with ability and determination. Those qualities will support you in the transition you are making. Your choice was both wise and difficult, but your recognition of her best care and support was correct. Images of her driving the wide front C and smiling is the way She shall be remembered. Jim

prayers and sympathy from here.

So sorry to hear about your Wife , I will eep the both of you in my prayers . pray for God s will .
