Welcome to the site. As much as it is sad that you've had to join it is the best place to find imformation and also ask questions there is always someone that can offer help and advice. But most importantly an ear to listen if you need to rant and rave and a virtaul shoulder to cry on and we all have got strong arms (virtual ) to help you up when you arel down and give you a hug.

i am in essex and look after my husband Brian where are you? Hope you are ok and have help (get it in place asap as you will need it).

Hi, welcome. Are you male or female? Your post reminded me of a song that always brought tears to my eyes, He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother sung by Neil Diamond and The Hollies to name but a few.

The road is long, with many a winding turn

That leads us to who knows where.

But I'm strong, strong enough to carry him.

He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

So on we go, his welfare is my concern,

No burden is he to bear, we'll get there.

He would not encumber me.

He ain't heavy, he's my brother.

I hope you have others to help you.

Have a good day, or night, depending on where you are.
