I haven't been grateful for awhile and it is showing in my life. Trust me. Today I am grateful for the fact that my husband (who has dementia) gave his truck to his son and gave up his driver's license this weekend. Now, he hasn't driven in many, many months, but at this point he has made peace with the fact that he will not drive again. It's a real milestone for us and I am beyond grateful for the fact that I didn't have to be the "bad guy". It was his decision and he made the right one.

I’m sorry to hear about your hubby. I think it’s always difficult for a guy to give up driving. I’m watching daily for my license to be revoked after my series of seizures. Best of luck to you both.

@debbraw It is a relief to not always be the "bad guy". I have been scraping the edges of the gratitude bowl too. Just keep trudging through is the best some of us can do at times. I am still struggling with a doctor and her cultural issues. Also trying to find a new primary which are hard to come by. With current doctor's cultural hurdles I need to find one. Still searching and completely exhausted. Although she is internal medicine which I was hopeful about as I was referred there by former primary who left. Doctors are leaving due to changes in policies. We are no longer human beings but machines.
