Dear Bel.

None of us can fight this disease, it will always win in the end. You have put up as good a fight as any and I know it`s hard for you to accept it as it is but sometimes it`s what we have to do.

You know you have always only done the very best for Bob.

Please let us know how the meeting goes.

Love xx

Dear Bel,

You have only done what you feel is right for Bob and that's all anyone can ask of themselves.

It's a very difficult road and all you can do is give it your best shot and take each day as it comes. I hope the meeting goes well.

Caring Thoughts, Taffy.

Hello Bel....

my fault maybe i should not of not tried to protect him as much as i have

None of this is your fault...it's the fault of the disease.

You have done your utmost to help Bob...and to keep your own body and soul together..not an easy task under the circumstances.

Your strength and courage are to be admired..and I wish you well for the meeting today.

Love gigi xx

"Giving up", What nonsense ...

Bel, you KNOW it's the guilt-monster making you think in such a negative way.
Coming to an acceptance that you need more outside help with Bob isn't "giving up", it is adapting to the changing needs forced on you both by the disease.

Given that you have many challenges with your own health, this was inevitable. You have coped with enormous difficulties, not only related strictly to Bob but also keeping the business going single-handed.

I hope the meeting today comes up with some 'positives' that you can work with; it's no good looking over your shoulder at the things you used to be able to do when things were better, we would all like to be able to turn the clock back but life doesn't work that way.

Hugs & Best Wishes Bel, be kind to yourself.
