Doctor asked me what I do now that I am retired. I do a lot actually, always have had a lot things to do in my own life. I didn’t live for my job as some do.
I’ve been retired for almost 20 years now, for the past several years I’ve been my sick wife’s only caregiver 24/7. I don’t think I’m the only one, but we don’t get much attention.

Every thing I do is important to me. There is always something to do.

You are certainly not the only one. I too cared for my wife who had Alzheimer’s for years. She passed in her sleep last November.

I’m a little shocked that Grandma won’t help out. I do.

Sad that your mother doesn’t help. Personally, I would kick her out.

Judging by her reaction to Alix’s illness, she’s gonna make sure it stays that way !

You are for sure not alone. Bless you. There are times I would give anything to still be taking care of my husband…
