Bea, YOU must be exhausted…we men will yell and stamp our feet before we finally do what you asked in the first place - including taking care of ourselves.
You are a fantastic woman and an even better wife!

Aww thanks! It's almost a year since my in-laws passed away, they were in their 90s and my husband took care of them more at the end, where I was the driver or errand girl for years.
The day after my father in-law died (11 days after his wife) my best friend ended up in the hospital and was there was 100 days! Out of state so I couldn't be there but I texted about it every day, then my husband's diagnosis in February and two weeks after that my mom died! She was in bad health and it just put her over the edge, she's in Denmark but I didn't get to say goodbye to her in person but somewhat on the phone... calling the hospital every day I was told it was the end and had the nurse put the phone to my mom's ear and I cried and said goodbye, I love you (something you rarely say in Denmark) and I told her it's ok to die! I hung up the phone and not 15 min later did the hospital call that she had passed away!!
So all that within almost 6 months, I told my husband he better fight it because I'm not starting a collection of urns!!
