I am glad that you found this discussion on Mayo Connect, @pamjsa. I agree with @marcusandgizmo and commend you on the many years of caregiving. Caregiving is a challenging role to play. You obviously love your husband and have done your best, but I can see that you feel the time has come to relinquish the caregiving role so your husband can have the care he needs and you can get some rest.
I would encourage you to join another discussion group on Connect that is specifically for caregivers. Here is the link to those discussions:

I look forward to hearing from you again. Will you continue to post and let us support you on this challenging journey?
