Husband just likes to lay around in the bed

Dear @kjc48
Thank you for your always-supportive comments on this post and so many others. You are so right that these concepts apply throughout the stages. We even had light and beautiful times throughout the two months of hospice, during which he declined so surprisingly quickly.
Having read a number of your posts, you embody a positive, inquisitive and activist approach. I am sure that it will make both your and your husband's experiences so much better. But also, like me, you will feel great peace at the end: Not because a burden has been lifted from our shoulders but because we did everything we could do and it made such a difference.

@memoriestomoments I appreciate your note, and remember your post about hospice, I'm sorry your husband declined so quickly. I try to stay positive, but this year dealing with so many external pressures outside of the medical and his MCI has been a real pressure cooker for me - both emotionally and financially. Because of the financial part, it just keeps me in a place of fear where the worst part for me, is losing a partner who could help guide in decision making and put my fears to rest. The positive in all of this, is this too shall pass, and my husband still physically here with me. Something, as you know, we should never take for granted. Time isn't always on our side with this disease. Thanks, again for your support and extremely valuable posts.
Best, Karla
