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!

We have a friend going through this too, 😔I posted a story about it yesterday. Now she keeps falling and he could no longer pick her up, she's in a nursing home and then the next day he had to put their dog down! I sat with him a long time while he talked about how they came to be where they are and how much he loves his wife, he cried so much, I hated to leave him alone like that. 💔I'll never understand why the end of our lives has to be so sad for a lot of people.

@Peaches I am sorry to hear about your friend. I'm glad you were able to be there to support your friend though. That is very important and am I sure you helped a lot.

@gmatthewb I know, he's alone too. 😔

@Peaches Very few things worse that being alone. I feel alone most of the time. Any time I hear someone is feeling alone or sad, I do what ever I can to help them not feel that way.
