I can’t cope while my husband is dying

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I’m small, too and simply can’t take care of him. Well-meaning family members have asked if I had considered home hospice and it just isn’t an option. I do need to ask more questions and I will. I’m not sure who is a nurse, aide, etc., yet, but they have a meeting on Mondays where everyone is available. In addition, I’m starting to get some names snd phone numbers, which helps, too.
I appreciate all the information I can get. This is still new to me and much as I hate it, there’s nothing I can do to change it.

Shirley- No one is judging you on Connect. Do you think that your well-intentioned family and friends understand why home hospice was not an option? But families are what they are. As if life wasn't hard enough, right?

You mentioned that visiting your husband was difficult. Is this because of your own physical problems or because you hate seeing your husband in Hospice?

Merry
