So sad: Husband has glioma and I feel he is fading away

I am leaving this post. My husband is not getting better and I am so sad. I have an appointment with a therapist tomorrow but don’t believe I will be able to keep it and my husband canceled his plans for tomorrow so I will have no privacy for a virtual meeting.

@rosez that’s so sad! You have done so much for your husband! Can your husband not be left alone? Maybe when he naps, you could have a phone talk with the therapist. Can you try that? And, please don’t leave! We’re here for you.
Maybe you could join one of the groups that @colleenyoung mentioned at the beginning of this discussion. Will you take a look at them?

Hi @rosez I am so sorry to read of your husband's continuing health difficulties. I remember it was beyond difficult when I desperately wanted my wife to get better, but her disease had alternate plans. It was very hard for me to accept the fact I had no control over any aspect of her disease, nor did she. I think as caregivers we want to make things as best we can, but often cannot. That was one of my supreme challenges -- having to come to grips with my inability in that area and to instead be forced to change my life as a result.

Mayo Connect was a sanity saver for me so I hope you stay here as your time allows!

Strength, courage, and peace!
