I really aappreciate the comments made. I am in the beginning of this with my spouse and we have neurology appt soon. I have been taking classes in how to rephrase and redirect discussions. I liked the comment about “living for 2 people” . It is exhausting. It is very difficult not to take the anger or comments personally because you losing parts of this person. The chaplain at our hospital had a grief and loss session that was helpful. But the everyday, day in and day is hard. Having a really good support system of friends that make you laugh and taking time everyday for yourself is critical to keeping your sanity and helping to be patient. I have found doing the 3 breaths at once often in the day helps to reset me and give me the ability to move to neutral. Blessing to all of your care support people in this journey.
