in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

It breaks my heart to read about some of your struggles with the decision to move your LO into a care facility.  Last night I watched this Teepa Snow video on YouTube and the speaker is a minister who took care of his affected wife for many years.  During one stage, she fought him and wouldn’t allow him to care for her, and he moved her into a MC unit.  After she moved through that stage, he took her back home and said those were some of their best years together.  I thought this might give some of you some peace to know that it might be an option for you in the future as well.  Here’s the link:  https://youtu.be/UUBFbv5qGW8
