One week ago at this time I was happy. Wednesday, we got the devastating news that my dear husband has ALS. Since then, all I want to do is cry. My sweetheart is stoic. He is 70, so we knew that our time was limited, but did not know just how limited. But what I read about the disease scares me so; I can only read a little at a time, it makes me cry so much. Right now, other than his voice and some slowing down, which we attributed to age, my hubby seems healthy. What I wonder if some could share with me--what steps should we be taking now, while he still has his strength and most of his speaking ability? We are working on our wills and have a DPA in place. No children, only nieces and nephews and dear friends. But the future seems overwhelming. Is there anything we can do now to make it any easier?
