in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

2024 is ending the way it began for me and our family. My Cancer diagnosis, placing my DH in memory care, my DH passing away in August and now in November my 90 year old Step-Dad had a stroke. He has no children so I’m trying to help as much as I can. Please continue to pray for our family. Love you all. 🙏 💜
