Julie, I am going to say the very hard thing today. Now that your kids have witnessed the decline, and you are not going to be in the same room at night, is it time to figure out the "next step." I am worried about you, your health and your safety.
If the two of you are not already past being safe at home alone, the day is coming. Have you discussed, with Bill or the kids, what you will do? Daily in home help? Kids or grandkids coming to help (not just visit) - either one or platooning? Respite care so you can rest? Full time care in a facility?
Can you initiate this discussion? And if it is too hard for you to do alone, can you get some help from a pastor or social worker?
Please, let me know what you are planning to keep you both safe!
Sue
