Howard

I am very grateful for my health. It takes deliberate effort to maintain my health but it is critical that I do. I am also grateful that my wife is not a large woman and I can manage her physically. If she falls I am able to lift her up, which is huge considering some have to call 911 when this happens. Also I have a decent team of health care providers, some better than others, but overall I can get the care she needs. My wife has dementia so it isn't a matter of her getting better, it is saying goodbye over a long time. The insight I get from the support groups helps me put things into perspective and when she wakes up at night scared and doesn't know who I am it doesn't throw me off balance. My plan is to keep her at home to the very end, so far so good. And for that I am grateful.

Howard I love this answer, Howard. Thank you so much for sharing.

Tanya

Although my phone kept kicking me out of my group today. I am focused on gratitude, instead of complaints. Trying to remain focused on future. I am grateful for the privilege of taking care of my mother. She was and still a kind, generous loving woman who loves her family.

I'm grateful my husband can still handle most bodily functions. I have to assist with showers and remind him for bathroom before we leave. He can no longer do his cryptograms ( which he loved) or help cook that we shared. I miss my friend, but rejoice in those stolen moments of us before. I'm also grateful for this support.

Well I started doing Somatic Yoga today. I'm feeling very optimistic about it's benefits. It's supposed to help with reducing stress, which will help me to sleep better. I'll keep updates on how everything goes.

I’m very grateful to the adult daycare that my wife attend twice a week and I’m also very grateful to my sister in law who takes my wife every Thursday for an overnight. With this help I’d be totally lost!
