This is very difficult. You made the best decision for both of you. I agree with the others who said for you to continue writing. Though you may feel the need to only write positive posts, in life we must deal with the positive and the negative, the good and the bad. You did the fright thing. Let no one make you feel bad.

Dearest Simone
Every fiber of my being goes out to you to support and give Light and Love to Surround you both. I know all that you are going though and the pain of this decision. However, know that that if he can not be cared for at home in a safe environment for BOTH of you, you have made the best decision. It does no one any good to try and care for someone who is too physically taxing to care for. All that happens is that you end up sick and someone needing to care for you and him. The inner most part of him knows you are there and knows the love you have for him each and every minute of each day. He can feel the love and comfort of your thoughts and feelings of love that surround him. Please do not hesitate to contact me. sha082112@gmail.com anytime. I will give you my number and you can call if you wish and need someone to talk with. You are a supporting star in his life's role and as he transitions to a higher plane, the beauty of his guides and angels and yours will sustain you and hold you up. There will moments of beauty and joy that will come to you each day in many small ways. Small treasures that you can tuck away for later. Love and Light Sharon

Quite poignant and heartfelt....
I'm very sorry for your situation...
"The personal is universal" - I think Lee Strasberg coined that saying and I believe it is true in all art forms.

Sadly Simone it was the only thing you could do.
I looked after my Mum she was only small but
she developed a terrible strength and at times
I had to nearly fight with her until she grew calm,
She would not take pills.
I knew no family could exist in these conditions,
I hardly had a vistitor and like you I promised
not to put her in a home. If she had been a man
I could not have coped, and I think you have
been very brave. I don't like talking about this
but I could feel your pain and probably avoided you.

The poem tears at the heart. The others are right - writing can help - and it may be selfish, but I'd really miss your poetry. At the same time, you are the one who knows what is best for you. Sometimes there just ain't enough rocks. Sending my prayers for you and a HUGE HUG.

“G-d doesn't bless us just to make us happy; He blesses us to make us a blessing.” You are a blessing to he whom you love and we who love you.

I didn't know; will think about you a lot. My wife Ginny might be
showing the first signs. You're a loving person and I'm sure your decision was the best. People not dealing with such problems can have their opinions, but they don't count. Don't hesitate to keep on writing and posting. Writing is expression and venting. The artists in the world know how to take the bad and make it beautiful.

I cannot tell you how sorry I am for you, as my sister is now going through the same sort of thing I feel I know your pain a little deeper now. I would ask you to reconsider leaving, writing can be very good for the spirit, and poetry is not always upbeat, it is the story of life for better and worse, it never has been. My prayers have always been with you and yours and will always continue to be so...That's what we do.

I am so sorry to hear that your husband is ill..I know that we promise we will not put them in a facility if they get to bad, but then it has to be done because with this illness they become the opposite of what their normal personality was. It is a hard decision to make I understand that. But one you had no choice other than to do just that. I will keep him in my prayers and you dear because you will need it the most! We will miss you but will be here when to stop in from time to time! God Bless you dear friend!

Sweetheart...I totally understand...have lived your pain with My Mother and others. You are brave beyond belief and we are all here for you. Never ever have I thought OH NO another sad poem for I know that writing out the grief can really help. ...and you have helped me with grieving for loved ones with your fabulous gift of writing.
You know that I pray for you each day and when you feel that you can return it will be a great joy.
Take care of you and know that you have made the only decision that you could.There comes a time when we have to step back and allow the profesionals to do their job. If anyone gives you grief tell them that if it was a brain tumour or such the professionals would be caring for him ...what is the difference. love you with all my heart!!
