Grief. As they fade away, you face the loss of who they used to be. I agree with your point of view, “it’s never going to not suck.” Do something nice for yourself. 💜
Your writing so resonates with me and I too am so grateful for it. In fact just before I moved my own husband into memory care your writing just appeared to me by internet magic and it was far more helpful to me than anything I researched or was told by the professionals. Thanks for writing.
Heather, this means so much to me. This is the whole point of writing The Middler--to let others on this journey know they aren't traveling through the darkness alone.
We are at the very beginning with MCI. I already miss the man who was - his silly humor, his self confidence and his joy. The are a bit farther out of reach now. Nuisance is not our friend
This breaks my heart. I haven’t been in your particular situation but, I know the loss of a beloved husband and grief. It takes courage and strength to see a situation through to the end. I admire your commitment. With you 💔
Yes, Mike is loved. Thanks to your honest and often heartbreaking posts, those of us who have had the pleasure of being his friends can embrace the two of you in our hearts as you walk this journey. Hugs.
I am grateful for you and for your stories, Pam. I’m also so, so sorry. This well and truly sucks. Your metaphor of grief being like running laps rings true for me. Some days you just want to step off the track. Hugs to you.
Finally. Someone who has the same
Struggles I have been having. Thank you for posting this. It was helpful to me.

Oddly enough, in a lot of ways, those earliest days are the hardest--that's when they still seem most like the person you fell in love with.
My husband has AD. I understand.
Thank you for writing. It is a reminder I am not alone.
Terrifically sad.

Truest description of the kinetic nature of grief I have encountered. Thank you, Pam.
