in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

Here is a link to a wonderful blog written by Susan Dougherty, spouse of an early onset Lewy body patient.  It is beautifully written and is comforting and inspirational.  Along the side bar is a link to earlier posts that she wrote.  Unfortunately, after her husband died in 2016, Susan only survived until 2018.

    Thank you for sharing this with us.  Really excellent writing; I especially felt her words describing her feelings within grief deeply touching in its raw honesty.
