Thank you for the encouragement. Everything you've said, I have experienced. I lost my husband August of 2017. My AN grew the year I was taking care of my husband. I put myself on the back burner. Went for am MRI and my tumor had grown. Had surgery. Lost complete hearing on right side. Balance and dizziness are a daily struggle. I don't regret taking care of my husband. I wouldn't trade that year for anything. I know for a fact God never gives you more than you can handle. I was married almost 34 years to a wonderful man who was wheelchair bound. I thank God he is now free from that chair that bound him. There's always someone worse off. A good motto to remember.

Vicki I am so sorry you lost your husband! Don't know how I would manage this without him! We will be married 43 years the 31st. My office keeps calling. I need to go back to work soon but fear my memory will affect it. I will talk to my Dr about it this week. Don't like my new normal but am thankful to be alive. Ok balance one day and way off others.

Hello @vickid117
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband. How wonderful that you had such a good marriage and that you have such good memories of your time together. I would like to take this time to invite you to our discussion on Loss and Grief: How are you Doing?

I would love to have you post about your grief experience there. It sounds like you have approached your loss from a position of strength and I admire that.
