Hello ashmere4 . So nice to meet you and hear from you. I am sure you help your wife whenever you are able to. I think she's lucky to have a husband that doesn't take her for granted.

Have a lovely weekend.

Hi, pleased to meet you. I'm sure that if the situation was reversed you would have supported her. We always want to help those we love. Just doing those little things that you are able to do like pairing up the socks, will help her. take care xxx

Good afternoon Ashmere,

It's good to hear you are coping - you don't say what medication you are on but it must be working. You are so lucky to have a wife who cares....it is no disgrace you know that a husband cannot always be as healthy and be there for his family as he wishes - your wife is strong and obviously loves you deeply. I am sure you tell her too.

Hello - it's nice to meet you.

You sound as though you're coping really well but I agree it's not easy to let go of doing things you've always done. Try to remember that you and your wife are a team - you're still giving to her if you can accept what she does cheerfully and with a smile.
