Dear Cheryl, your story here reminds me so much of my husband's journey. I remember when he was so stubborn and proud that he would rather eat like an animal at a trough than have me feed him. it was a very hard and sad transition for him. what type of consistence can he eat? the pureeing was going on at the same time for us and that was tough too. no peg, lots of weight loss. there was a level of acceptance that happen for my husband, that went with swallowing his pride and giving in to being cared for. not easy, but it happened because it had to and the alternative was starvation. does your husband let you help with bathing and toileting? Another big hurdle for a pals....
I agree that they have to be in control of these things even when it hurts us. it is hard, but you can only tell him how it makes you feel but in the end you have to honor their wishes.
wish this was easier....
