When do you ever cope completely?
My husband has been in care for just over four years now, he no longer speaks but he seems settled in the care home in his own world.
I envy the fact that he is oblivious to everything, I can't settle, I'm becoming reclusive, I don't know what to do or where to go. Just when you feel that you are coming to terms with it all the mind steps in and then you are back to square one,
I was just sitting here not thinking about anything in particular when I could see us out together, it was an outing about 20 years ago but it was so real. II could smell his aftershave, he was almost touchable for a moment and then it was all gone.
Why is it so hard to accept the now and be rational rather than keep wanting what you can no longer have and the pain it causes?
