I can’t let my husband see these dark feelings, so I put on a happy face so I won’t place any unneeded stress on him.

DEAR ALONE AND SCARED:

Please accept my deepest sympathy for what you and your beloved husband are going through. It is very important that you recognize that in order to give him the best care possible, it’s crucial you take care of yourself. Ask your husband’s doctor if there is an organization that can offer support and information about his illness. Most of them have support groups and chat options for caregivers -- and being able to communicate with others would be beneficial for you.

Since you have no friend or relatives close by, you should also ask if there is respite care available. If you take advantage of it occasionally, it might give you time to recharge and lessen your anxiety. PLEASE consider it. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.How do I get away from someone I don’t care about? Anything I want to do, he doesn’t want to do.
