    Jmlarue, I saw your post on another thread saying that your DH is doing poorly. I’m sorry. And I agree with this saying and that we caregivers get to deal with this grief well before the death of their bodies.

    This is exactly how I feel, too.  I am the "sole keeper" of some memories, or will be soon.
