This is my 22nd year in the caregiving trenches. My mother had vascular dementia and I was her caregiver for 9 years. My daughter, the mother of my twin grandchildren, died from the injuries she received in a car crash. The twins' father died from the injuries he received in a second crash. The court appointed my husband and me as the twins' guardians/caregivers. In 2013 my husband's aorta dissected. He had three emergency operations and during the last one suffered a spinal cord injury. I've been his primary caregiver since then. These experiences led to a series of books for family caregivers. On Sept. 1, 2020 my 37th book, The Grandma Force, will be released.

Wow! That is all I can say! You are an amazing woman!! I am so sorry for all your loses. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to raise 2 small children while caring for your hubby.
I am happy you have found an outlet to release your thoughts and feelings.
All the Best!

Was your husbands dissection a result of Marfan syndrome by chance. His Guardian Angel was with him, not many survive dissections. Can you elaborate on his spinal cord injury. My Dad was a Complete C5 Quadriplegic.
Blessings,

@harriethodgson1- lol, when did you have time to write? You say that you are in heart failure, backside heart failure? Can you tell me more? How are you feeling and where do you get your energy? I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter and her husband. I was a twin. How are they getting along? How old are they? I'm so so sorry for the heartaches that you have had. I'm also sorry that I am hitting you with so many questions.
