I cared for my husband who developed Alzheimer's Disease in 1996, he only went into a nursing home when I could no longer care for him 18 months ago
Hi Loretta
Thank you for sharing your post. There definitely comes a time when it is important for our loved
ones to be in a nursing home where they can be safe. As it progresses, your husband would need
that 24 hr care and you need to know that your health is important too. It is very hard physically
and emotionally to care for our loved ones with that condition. You cared for your husband for a very long time and that had to be difficult for you. He was blessed to have you Loretta. Now is the time to remember the good times you shared. Know that you took care of him as long as you could,
I pray that you will have strength, comfort and peace. If you wish to talk some more, please send out another post. Take Care and Best wishes to you.
¡Has hecho un trabajo increíble, Loretta! 20 años es mucho tiempo; ¿tuvo Alzheimer de inicio temprano? Mi suegra desarrolló Alzheimer frontotemporal en sus 50 (al menos)... le tomó mucho tiempo ser diagnosticada. Mi suegro la cuidó, escondiéndolo de la familia durante muchos años (vivían en el extranjero); solo parecía muy rara. Cuando él falleció, tuvimos que traerla de vuelta a Inglaterra para ingresarla en una residencia. Pasé los siguientes 8 años y medio cuidándola. Esto me costó mucha energía emocional y otras cosas, criando a mi familia, trabajando a tiempo completo, etc. Ella falleció el año pasado.
Comparto esto porque creo que has hecho un gran trabajo y solo porque él está ahora en una residencia de ancianos no minimiza la participación que aún tendrás en su vida. ¡Gracias a Dios que ahora puedes tomarte un tiempo para ti, dormir bien, etc.! Realmente creo que tu esposo seguirá beneficiándose de tus visitas, etc. Aunque parezca que "no te conocen", estoy segura de que en otro nivel sí lo hacen, ya que he presenciado una y otra vez los efectos positivos que las visitas familiares tienen en el "paciente" después de que la familia se ha ido. Bendita seas por todo lo que has hecho y seguirás haciendo. X😊
Thank you Sharon, it was only 20 years. I was determined he would not sink into Alzheimer's not knowing anything, not seeing beautiful things.
20 years went by very fast. By the time I knew something was wrong he was disappearing into Alzheimer's. I had to challenge Drs and the NHS about medication for him. My dad used to say I was dynamite in a small package. He got the medication, I kept abreast of different medications for Alzheimer's. No internet in those days. I simply refused to let him sink. I bought a caravan and took him all over the UK.
I don't mind hard work but the years took their toll. At 70 I was finding it difficult.
I do a 60 mile round trip to go and see him as often as I can. We were always very close and to an extent still are. A reaĺ true love comes around once in a lifetime.
La tuya es verdaderamente una hermosa historia de amor. Puedes tener paz sabiendo que hiciste todo lo posible para ayudar a tu esposo. Solo puedo asumir que este largo viaje tuyo para visitarlo es inevitable. Debe ser difícil para ti que él no esté más cerca. Que Dios los bendiga a ambos. Xx
