adela Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 As a caregiver for my husband I also worried about the right decision and when to make that decision. It was a very difficult period. I hope you are not being criticized for your decision. At this point in time your decision is the one that needs to be made. You are there for him and that is so important. Talk to him, comfort him, tell him how much you love him, remember the special trips you took with him. I being the main caregiver and working it I was so stressful at times it was hard to just sit and be with my husband. Having hospice will help let them help you. I will be thinking of you and your Dad. It is such a difficult time for both of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
