Well, it's done. My husband is in a memory care facility. The first 24 hours

76. Oh, Ziggysmom, I'm so very sorry.

I'm sorry that it has been so hard, and guilt can be devastating. It sounds like to me that you waited until it was way past time for this. The guilt you feel is no doubt in direct relation to the amount of care that is in your heart. You are hurting because of that caring, that compassion, and that love.

I don't pretend to have any savvy words of wisdom. All I can say is that I hope you will take a little time to be especially good to yourself. Indulge in something that gives you some peace and don't be afraid to do something that gives you a little pleasure. You deserve it. You may not know that, but the rest of us here reading this post, know it for certain.

A big hug right back at you! May the next 24 hours be a little bit easier.
