Connie,
I have kind of missed reading the posts here it was alot of help for me when I needed it. I will admit it was even harder after Doug passed as I felt so lost, not just finding myself alone but nothing to do and not knowing what to do I never realized how much time and energy went into his care. I loved him so much my whole life was giving him the best and making sure every Doctor nurse etc did the same and then all of a sudden... nothing and there is no after care for us caregivers. I then got involved in being a driver for a work friend to her radiation in Boston and setting up a care program for an elderly woman....I think I was just trying to fill a void but I did help some people so that was good. Life does go on and I know this from when I lost my first husband..... guess I am a survivor.
I hope along the way here I can help some people too
