in Caring Long Distance

Being long distant from a loved one has taken a toll. This has been a heartbreaking journey for all involved. Feeling hopeless and helpless and just want him here with us like he was planning on doing before Alzheimer's overtook him.

Everyday is a struggle, everyday that goes by is a huge loss without him.I want to save him from this and I can't. I know there is no hope, no reversal, no turning back, no cure in his lifetime.

How do other long distance caregivers deal with the separation and being away from there loved one that's slowly fading away ?

EVERDAY IS A HUGE LOSS WITHOUT HIM, IM HEARTBROKEN
