Thank you for this unexpected but greatly treasured support. As Mark Twain said, "I can live two weeks on one compliment." Your response will keep me going for awhile....I do miss my sweet hubby as he was, but I also treasure the opportunity to love him when he is facing the hardest ordeal of his life. It is not easy, and at times, it seems impossible- however
"Love bears all things.
Love believes all things.
Love hopes all things.
Love ENDURES ALL THINGS.
Love NEVER ends. So now faith, hope and love abide, these three, but the greatest of these is love. "
I Corinthians 13: 7, 8, 13.
With each other's support in this group, we can feel stronger and more confident in this very unpredictable, and also unavoidable journey.
I wish I could physically hug everyone here.
Jan

Good morning, Jan,
Thank you for the reminder from 1st Corinthians, I need to remember that.
Each day, as caregivers, we encounter interesting challenges and sometimes heartwarming and unexpected surprises. Many of us experience what I think of as "caregiver sundowning" when toward the end of the day, we are emotionally spent and discouraged and our patience is wearing thin. These are the times, especially, that it helps to visit this forum and feel the caring, compassion and encouragement that is offered here. One more thing to be grateful for! I start each day with a gratitude list of five things. Over the past two years, I have amassed an amazingly long gratitude list that I can refer to when things get stressful.
