I know it is very difficult but you can get thru it. People dont always know just how strong they are until they are forced to be strong. Take things day by day, or hour by hour. Make sure you take a break and catch your breath. Thats something caregivers forget, to look out for themselves too. Please take care! I will keep you both in my prayers.
