BTDT. Grief is a very strong emotion & can bring you to a halt. Don't be afraid to get counseling.
 
My heart goes out to you. You have had more than your share of trouble in life by a wide margin. Just remember life when it is complete is measured in acts of kindness and compassion. Not how much material we accumulate. Something that nearly all of us have trouble remembering from time to time.
 
I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you were able to get her into a home where she'll be well cared for and where you'll be able to visit her regularly.
 


Steve, many of us know you well enough from your posts here over the years to know that you have done everything possible to give Susan the best care and life that you possibly could.
 
Prayers sent for both of you. It is a difficult step to take, but often necessary. My mom spent her last 5 years of life in such a facility. Your health and well being will be improved also, even though it seems tough right now.
 
So sorry to hear this, I have been wondering how you were getting along since moving. I'll add you and Susan to my daily prayer list. Both grandparents on Mom's side had Alzheimers, Mom and her 2 sisters all had it and I'm afraid that if I live long enough I'll get it. It is painful to watch someone you love slowly fade away. It's difficult to understand God's plan for each of us and why things happen, all we can do is trust in him and pray for strength to help us through whatever happens. Email is open if you don't already have it, feel free to contact me if you need/want to. Praying for you and Susan. Chris
 
Hopefully the nursing home is close enough where you can visit frequently. It will be good for her, and better for you.
 
I'm sorry Red.
It is a sad affair.
My sister is in a similar situation.
Poor health, Alzheimer's. Her husband had to put her in a home as he couldn't care for her himself any longer.
He visits her nearly every day. Couple of times a week he takes her out for a drive and an ice cream cone. She doesn't know who he is but she's always happy for the ice cream.
