9. I'm so sorry you are going through this, TSS!
I have read your posts for a long time and have always been impressed by your love and devotion to your wife. It seems so unfair that you are going through this.

I'm recovering from a very serious illness and I am well aware of how hard is the role of the caregiver. It is worse in some ways than that of the sick person, because you get much less support and sympathy. You are under so much emotional stress and trying to accomplish so much at the same time- eg., working your butt off. It's traumatic stress. Who cares for the caregiver?

I sincerely hope that things improve for you soon and for the highest good of all involved.

:hug:
