Dear Glasslady001,
my heart went out to you when I saw your note.
your brief message said it all.
as a caregiver and as a retired PSW - I hear and I understand your words. Trainning and skills such as you have, doesn't seem to work the same when the focus is on you and your loved ones.
I want you to know this forum is a place you can vent and share with others.
I hope you will continue to talk and write - because you will be heard and understood.
It is just as important for you to reach out for help right now, for yourself and your husband.
We all need someone else to talk to in a crisis. Others who can hear us and empathize
You are still who you are - a great counsellor and therapist - but you are also now personally effected.
your story will be on my heart and mind as it will touch others who read it. As a community of caregivers and professionals, also as family members - we all give each other support and ways to get through each day.
please update when you can and let us know how you are doing. i know others will respond and offer ideas to you as well.
my thoughts are with you.
you are dealing with shock and disbelief right now. I know that you have skills to help you - and I hope myself and others on the forum can offer support and a listening ear
my best to you,
natR
