I’ve just today read this post. I think you did the right thing. Did he realize where he was going? I would have to sedate my DH to get him to a facility of any kind. You and Wayne are in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for letting us go along with you on this journey.

I’m so sorry I’m late in responding to your posts. I, too, am so sorry that you have come to your point in your journey. I do pray for peace for Wayne and for you and your boys and even Buddy.

It was coming, I think that we all sensed it from your recent posts.
It’s heartwrenching for you, that’s for sure. So sad for your both, but, you fought that dreaded disease as long as possible. You’ll still be there for him. Thank God and Canada, that you have such a marvelous facility that will give him such good care. Caring staff is an added blessing. We are all feeling this along with you Jean, know that, please.

Well, when we hadn’t heard from you I suspected this was happening. I am so sorry – without words too. Without any answers either. Some times we have to go by faith instead of sight. It’s going to be a tough journey – I sure hope you have some support. Prayers and hugs being sent your way.

Oh Jean, life sucks! I am sorry to hear this news. Write when you can. I do understand your pain. Hubby has turned a corner too. He has no energy at all any more. And watching other couples go about their daily routine, out to dinner, away on holiday, makes me feel cheated. I can imagine you feeling the same.

Sending you love and hugs. You and Wayne are in my thoughts and prayers as we stumble along on this frightful journey.

You have made a difficult decision yet there are people who do not understand how taxing it is to care for someone with dementia 24-7. You will still be spending quality time with him and certainly haven’t abandoned him. Take care.

I’m so sorry that Wayne has come to this stage and having been in the same position, I really feel for you as you make adjustments in your life. God bless always.

I’m so sorry, Jean. I guess we knew it was inevitable, but that doesn’t make it easier. My love and prayers for you.

I can add very few words to what the others have said. I echo all of them. My heart is full for you. Knew something was going on and knew from different things that you had written that this was coming soon. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Keep us posted. Seems like a lot of people who don’t know you, do love you and Wayne. Praying as always…blessings..hugs and love. Mary Lou
