@shirleymac, you've got a lot to handle. @tunared, recently shared the breaking point of his day caring for wife. When you are the life partner and primary caregiver, you bear the weight of the emotional as well as the endless practicalities of caregiving. Even with the support of family, medical professionals and mental health support (professional and puppies), your role is particularly challenging.

Members here on Connect get that and we have a boatload of understanding and listening ears - yours whenever you need it.

I'm bringing @IndianaScott into this discussion too. I'm hoping he'll share his experiences with palliative and hospice care, and how much they helped him. He's shared (I'm paraphrasing), that hospice care near the end allowed him to be the husband again and leave the caregiving to others. It might be worth a discussion with your husband's care team to find out if it is time for palliative or for hospice care.
