I'm so frustrated with my life now. My wife is not doing well. I want to do everything I can but the luck of the genetic draw delt her a bad hand in 1962. I'm trying to be supportive, but biology is not helpful. We met in '72 when my parents moved in across the street from her parents. I was 12 she was 10. Her best friend lived in the house we moved in to. But when her best friend moved away, and the blonde, hazel eyed boy moved in with his family... Long story (40year) short we both married in the early '90's, had/raised children, became dis amorous with our spouse's were divorced. And refound each other afew years ago. Any way, I feel great she... I try and am trying so hard to help but biology and genetics are ...
Yep, this aging business is a tough pill to swallow, especially the limitations it imposes. Many days the only solace I have is reminding myself that I am doing the best I can and helping as many people as I can along the way.
Your assistance will be critical to your wife faring the best she can, even when she doesn't show it. Try to enjoy the small victories and remember the bigger ones from the past. Enjoy the present to the best of your ability. The role you play now may one of the most important of your life. Relax and be good to yourself.
@DonSchneider Thanks for hearing me out. I know that if you didn't care so much, the journey wouldn't be nearly as difficult. I respect the effort you are making, even wnen you don't think you're doing enough.
