My wife is way beyond resuming her own life, she is not able to to anything. She spends much of a day laying down on the couch after I get thru the bath and dressing. I do agree totally on your comment re attention from others. I recently had a house visit from her case manager from the local health authority and during the visit, probably 90 mins, she was the nicest person and never mentioned death or dying or wanting to get out of here. As soon as the manager left she want right back to it. Not sure how much longer I can deal with this but we do, one day at a time. Thanks for your comments.
