Dear blog readers,<\/p>\n
I regret that effective today and for an indefinite period, …
\n
\n…I have to take a break from blogging. <\/p>\n
My spouse has a serious medical condition to which I need to devote my complete attention. My nature as a caregiver is that I like to “fix” things, but his situation is so seriously bad, I can’t fix him. <\/p>\n
Trust me — I have tried so many methods and actions to find ways to help him. I am at a complete loss and feel helpless. Nothing has worked. I hold him, love him, and live our marriage vows.<\/p>\n
All I can do (and am doing) is to drive him to endless appointments with doctors and testing facilities, and remain hopeless because they all say, “nothing we can do. Nothing is wrong.” <\/p>\n
Then he cries, “They don’t care! They don’t know! Something IS wrong!” I hold him… sadly shaken. <\/p>\n
I can take a lot, but I can’t handle it when he cries. That just tears me up.<\/p>\n
I can’t think of “la-la-la” happy blog posts when conditions are this way. Check back periodically for updates.<\/p>\n
Life is short: live the vows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
