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 2011 but his journey was a bit faster. He was feeling ill during the summer of 2011 and we could see a sudden loss of muscle but he wasn't diagnosed until Aug of 2011.
Luckily I had "super" family members to help my daughter and I through those 5 months. But now, I am left with picking up the pieces after 28 yrs of marraige and starting over.
Please feel free to contact me at
