Re: Does your family eally appreciate what you are going through,
Other than the hospice nurses and aides, I'm on my own unless it is an emergency. I do get help from his nephew every other to every two weekends. His grand niece also comes over sometimes to entertain him while I rest. But as far as physical care, amazingly, when they are here he becomes independant. Although his core is very sweet and kind and giving, his ego makes him very controlling. This is why he has Parkinsons according to Louise Hay in "Heal Your Body". According to her and many other reseachers. our thoughts and words create our reality. Anyway, I raised two very independent children who always had a vote in family matters and we always had a discussion about the right choices to make and how to get to the best choice. This was a shock to Richard when we got married since he is older than I am. He has adapted and my children adapted but because he is so controlling they do keep their distance. They are here for me if I need them but they don't volunteer. His nephew keeps thanking me for taking care of Richard because if I didn't love him so much Joe would have kept his distance also and he is grateful that he has a close relationship with him now. Otherwise, Richard would be by himself in a nursing home somewhere.
I can see his true soul and he is a very wonderful man. We have been together in past lives many times. I have helped him to be more enlightened and to be more positive. He has taken very good care of me when he could and his love for me is so great and he has changed a lot over time from what I understand from his ex-wife. We have become friends after I had her and Joe over last summer for a visit so she and Richard could have a forgiveness moment and I made a scrapebook for her and all their neice and nephews they helped raise. Richard's sister was ill for a long time and they brought the children to Texas to live with them. I found all their childhood pictures from that time and made 6 books for all.
My help is God and Jesus and all my guides and angels. I am also learning many life lessons which brings me to being more closely aligned with the Universe(God). Have you read:"Am I Dying Today" that begins my blog? It explains it all. I know I am to be doing this at this point in my life, of that I have no doubt. I sometimes loose sight of this and my ego pops up and then I get frustrated but when I vent and return to Love, things are fine even when I get tired and weary. I just have to keep my heart and soul and mind on track; my life lesson to learn along with forgiveness.
Love and Light Sharon

I am in agreement with Ciel......it seems like far too much work for one person....it's wearing you out, and that's not good! You must think of your own health also....

Does your family eally appreciate what you are going through,
trying to take care of him so constantly? I gather from what you say here that you are not entirely on your ownwith him, but what you are describing suggests that he requires more than one intense regular care-giver!
