    My wife of almost 54 years died of Alzheimer’s nearly seven years ago. I have since remarried and am starting to see some of the same symptoms appearing in my present wife. I pray to God that I do not live long enough to go through this ordeal again. Vern, please get help. Don’t try, as I did, to take care of her by yourself. You won’t do her any favors and you’ll likely kill yourself in the process.

    I am sincerely sorry for you both. I won’t insult you by saying “I know how you feel” because I can never know how you feel. I can only say “I have walked down this road” and I am so sorry that you are having to do it.

    God Bless you!
    I have home health care for her, and the doctor keeps watch on her.

    She's a nurse, and worked in nursing homes throughout our marriage. When we were first married, she made me give her two promises. The first was that I would not die before her -- she didn't want to be left alone. The other was that I would care for her myself, no matter what. I am keeping my promises.

      Vern, You are entering the most difficult period of your life. My wife of 45yrs died last year, it was a 6 year struggle. She was down to94lbs from 130. I fed her 3 times a day thru a tube to her stomach. You do it because you love them and you know they would do it for you. Stay strong.

        It was my oath of enlistment -- for better or for worse, in sickness and in health.

            What can one say, life is tough for anyone, death is tougher. For my family our religion plays an important part in our life. Knowing as a Christian that life continues elsewhere as Earth bound is not permeant, just a temporary stay. When I was told I had cancer I had no fear, none at all. Non Believers find this hard to fathom, Believers understand. Not bragging but I have been thru a lot that I would not desire for the worst person, it is not pleasant and continues so...it is now part of life. We all go thru Hell, some we create for self it is unfortunately part of some peoples human nature. Vern, one thing I have learned if I don't take care of myself how can I be of use to others?
