I Am A Caregiver To My Spouse

One of the rare times I am not going to try to be positive. This is really getting to be too much for me. My wife is getting a lot worse and I've started breaking down and crying when she does. The past few weeks have been so hard on me. I know it is only going to get harder. I'm hating my life more and more every day. I'm not looking for sympathy or pity. This just really sucks when I have to be strong for my wife and her mother and I can't find a reason or get any help for me to smile. I guess I really am a nice guy, because I sure do feel like I'm finishing last. Life sucks, I can't wait for it to end!

Nothing worse than not being able to help or “fix it”. Apparently this is most distressing for men. Women can’t complain to us because we immediately seek to “fix it”, when all they were doing was bitching. As we all do.

Being unable to stop a loved one feeling pain, be it physical or emotional, is one of the most helpless feelings in the world.

I’m sorry you’re both in the situation you are.
