[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 596329, member: 13542"] Siobhan, I am so sorry. I have not experienced the kind of sorrow you are presently feeling, however, I have experienced much loss and experienced much grief. It must be very difficult to watch your husband deteriorate to the degree that he has physically as well as emotionally. The sense of powerlessness you must feel about your son, granddaughter and husband must be overwhelming. I know from my own experience that we have absolutely no control over others. Perhaps getting yourself into therapy to learn how to detach from the suffering and loss of others may help you to be able to find some joy in your life. Don't let yourself go down with the ship, you deserve some happiness and peace of mind. You've got a lot of loss on your plate, however, you can get beyond loss, I am an example of that, you can do it. You may need help in doing it because I believe it's a matter of feeling the loss to be able to let it go............and that hurts. But, if you can walk through it, perhaps on the other side, you might find a new life which will bring you meaning and hope and joy. Don't wait, it's a set up to wait for others to change............go have your life, find your way out of this grief..............you deserve that...................don't give up, you never know what awaits you.............hugs..............
