My heart is hurting
Yesterday my husband had a fall - broke some ribs and fractured his spine. They are keeping him in the hospital. Doctors are talking of nursing care until he is healed and then memory care. This seems like an answer to prayer in a way, but I am feeling so guilty —- thought I was ready for this, but it is so lonely here without him🥲

I'm sorry your husband injured himself but I agree, it may be a blessing in disguise. I'm praying you can get past the feelings of guilt once he is settled into someplace new.

Please remember to reach out to loved ones to alleviate some of the loneliness.

I'm sure you have done all that you can to care for him at home. And try not to guilt yourself over how much more you wish you had done. (Speaking from experience with my parents) caregivers can only do so much without compromising our own health. Sending hugs your way! jeh
