Hi thank you for your response. How is your wife currently?
I know I am not alone in this journey, and my faith in God helps me so much. Again, I am reminded to slow down, prioritize and save time each day for myself to relax. I know I have to get some therapy. I do talk to some ppl but they don't get it. They say " stay positive." Or "....well he's sick" or "it's probably the chemo."
My best wishes and prayers for your wife and yourself. I hope you have many more years of memories to make.

Thank-you. I know how difficult it can be to try to be working fulltime along with your duties other duties at home. I was working fulltime during the first 4 years of our ordeal and I worried about my wife when I had to leave. Fortunately she could do the basics for herself during those years. It was early 2019 when she began to descend into more severe illness and debilitated state. Even now she usually takes care of most of her personal needs and all of her more intimate ones. I take care of most of the day to day stuff, cleaning, cooking, and all of the business stuff (which I have always done) as well as getting things for her when she is too fatigued, etc. It's great that you are able to work from home now. I can't say too much that is good about covid but the fact of many people now being allowed to do their work at home is definitely one thing that is a positive.

I am happy that you have a strong faith in God. There is nothing that gives a person more strength than that in my opinion. And I am glad you are on Connect as an outlet for yourself. Best, Hank
