in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

We are down to the last hours. I am lying in bed with DH, music in the background, window open to sun and breeze. I am so terribly sad while being so grateful that he will be free. my heart is breaking.

    It's so bitter sweet with dementia disease knowing the only relief is the passing of your LO. I pray you have peace and comfort knowing your job, a job you done with your heart is complete.
