To all of you caregivers
I too have experienced all of the guilt anger and frustration you have. I've spent my adult live as a nurse and it doesn't prepare you for anything when the illness is someone you love. I've watched my husband suffer since Nov. and he has completed his chemo and radiation one week ago and MRI in a month. My nursing knowledge is a hinderance because everyday the thought of Is it worth it? comes back and I wish he'd find some peace.He is determined so far to continue this horiffic battle. Do I feel guilty yes daily angry that too but I continue to function with a full time job and a 15 yo daughter.To be truthful it is my saving grace. I act like I have great hope and am very supportive but the negative attitude of this being a losing battle keeps coming back.So I look to this forum and always find something that helps. Everyone of those here suffering and their frustrated caregivers give me something to make me continue to try and I am forever grateful to each and everyone of you.
