I was just like you. Got every second I could. But alas we could not be together a day anymore due to his disease and brain damage.
May be a moment at a time a bit huh?
One thing, the relief of when they are out of the house, and when they move out or we do is quite different. Least it was for me.
Thinking maybe because when it is final, there is no chance left. Actually we don't know for sure but yet we do.
I know for me I still feel I don't want to go again no matter what. Just cannot handle that pain again. Was so bad.
Everyones situation is different. In time and work it does get so much better. I know I did not even realize how much the disease sucked out of me. I didn't even see the cobwebs. Barely kept plants alive.
Now my stomach does not hurt, I am not in trepidation. Know I do not want to go back,
You may take him back a couple times but don't beat yourself up. It takes a lot to go through such a huge change. I compare it to learning to swim. Sometimes it takes a lot of going in slowly and learning and being comfortable in the water before we are ready to dive in.
Aloha Bubbles...I wish you well as I also wish that for both of you.
Take your higher power and all of the program with you on that walk and keep an open mind and ears. If you think that this is only a speed bump rather than a concrete wall in the journey more becomes possible and available for you. Work the suggestions and trust. You'll be okay regardless of how he arrives at and makes his choices.
