I visit my OH every other day in a Care/Nursing Home not far from where we live. Mostly every visit I have to listen to him saying how "unhappy" he is and how his life has been taken away from him, this usually goes on for 1 out of my 3 hour visits.
I come away feeling mostly guilt ridden that yes his life as he knew it has changed very significantly but with a review for CHC next week I have been thinking about trying to cope with him at home with support.
When my visit came to an end at almost 5'oclock ( I always time it for when he goes into the Dining Room as I have had in the past great difficulty in leaving although now I can leave without a fuss) he didn't even say goodbye and went into the Dining Room, and I just left on my own..... Mixed Feelings !!
