Watching your loved one die...

I wanted to start this group for those who are the caregivers to their loved one. Those of us that hold out hope to the very end that we can beat death, while we watch our soul mate wither away and die.

Hello everyone, I chose to take the love of my life off a breathing machine from a 10 month fight with Lou Gehrigs disease, yes, I feel guilty but deep down I know he is not suffering...I watched both my parents leave this earth...selfish?? Not if it means they are happy and in peace..that's the only way I can deal with it...they are no longer hurting.......

You are not selfish, you are loving him and cant face loosing him.  I remember being where you are.  It is soo hard.  I wouldnt wish my husband to have had one more second of his last days but I would give anything to have the minutes back that I wasted when he was well.

Thank you! I really appreciate your support. My husband has been really ill the last few days. What am I to do when he wants the pain to end? I can't give up and let go. I know it's torturing him keeping him with me. Am I selfish?

Tanya, how are you doing?  Everytime I have a flashback to spring last year, I think of you and your husband going through it now and I pray for you both.  Hugs to you.

Thanks everyone for joining my group. I'm not sure if I can do this but I need to try. We live on 148 acres in the middle of nowhere with our 9 year old son. It's a small town and I'm considered "the new city folk", so needless to say I have no friends. I was able to hook up with a great counselor but she's young enough to be my daughter. I really appreciate you for listening to me. I am so sorry for your losses.

Grandma sewing room

So I am almost done with cleaning my grandmas sewing room that wasn’t touched in 10 years because of all the mess, but now that she passed away 2 days ago, I don’t know if I should continue, I wanna finish what I started but I don’t know what to do, my grandpa is still alive and I don’t want to leave this burden on him.See More
