Hi Ises & Penny Also from Michigan. I am still reeling from the speed that everything happened in the past year. I find this site, particularly this forum, especially helpful when I am looking for insight into the feelings that will sometimes just overcome you. I hope you too will find it...

Hi Ises: I just read your post in past Caregivers. I don't always sign in, but I will read through posts and comment occasionally because you are right that Here is the place you will find the wisest of advice on how to deal with this. I am also from Michigan and my husband passed away Dec 31...

Meg, you and your family are in my prayers.

Keeping you and your family in my prayers:cry:

Joni: My condolences to you and your family. You were a terrific caregiver and I know Bruce loved you dearly for all you did for him!

I had to get rid of anything related to ALS ... Karl passed away Dec 31 but was only just diagnosed Aug 31. I needed to remove all that reminded me of his illness, perhaps because it was so fast. That was not how I wanted to remember him. I am losing our house of 25 years and I have to find...

It has been only 7 weeks since Karl passed away... I go to work everyday, do my job. But when I come home, I find myself just sitting on the couch, maybe I'll eat dinner...maybe not. I feed the dog and then I sit. I have so much I need to take care of yet... accounts, taxes, bills. But there...

I am so sorry for you loss. My husband also passed away New Years Eve! It is all so sad to say goodbye

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers

Merry Christmas to everyone! May the Lord keep and protect all your loved ones this Christmas!

Funny how caregivers have similar thoughts. My husband is on the fast track. I know I will regret all the time we didn't have but right now I have some help during the day but at night.... it is me alone. Well we deal with our circumstances the best we can!

THANK YOU DANI! You have said EXACTLY what I have been feeling /experiencing the past few weeks. Karl has been so needy lately...yet I can't seem to do anything right! He's always telling me how his sister or my sister in law or his brother do this or do that and how wrong I do it. Forget...

I am so sorry for your loss! So many bright lights... gone!
