My husband has been going through this for 3 years now. We’ve also gone through all of the same schedules. He has a second MRI scheduled for May. My husband is 71 and has always been on top of his game. Now, I am having a hard time following his conversations. I too feel guilty when I get impatient with him. I pray a lot. Thanks for your input.

When someone has been so “on top of his game” as you say, it’s very hard. My husband is still doing ok with finances, but I have to kind of make sure all is well. Little by little we are preparing for me and our financial planners to take over, but I hate to pull things away too fast. I want to maintain his dignity and self esteem. I pray too and we meditate in the morning together. That is helping to start the day with more ease.
Is there a patron saint of patience? A constant prayer. Kind of a blessing that my husband doesn’t always remember what I fussed about;) Thank you for writing.
