Dear (((Liz)))! It’s good to see that your family is rallying around you and your husband. A suggestion may be to use some of the time that family is visiting to get out and recharge your emotional batteries, or simply to nap, so that you don’t get sick yourself from the stress of caregiving. You are very competent and that is not a sign of weakness to look after yourself. You can’t do it all yourself. I know that because I have worked with many palliative clients and their families. One of the things that happens with terminally ill people in the progression of their disease is anorexia. The person loses interest in eating. My mother-in-law would get angry if family members tried to force her to eat, so they finally stopped making her eat. I think of you every day on this journey you and hubby are on. Carole
