If he can't be nursed at home, he will have to move to a nursing home. I am sad for you Harrigran sending hugs.

I am so sorry to hear this Harrigran but a nursing home is the answer and your DH and you will feel safer.

What a difficult day, among many hard days for you harrigran.
I am thinking of you, with warm regards. flowers

Your husband wants what’s best for you harri, you want the best for him. A really difficult decision for you both. Being a wife rather than a carer will be a wonderful thing I’m sure but I do understand how difficult today has been. flowers.

What a wonderfully selfless man is your DH! You couldn't have done more for him but you health is important, too. You'll have peace of mind in knowing he is being cared for whilst still enjoying his company at any time when you visit.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Harrigran,how brave he is thinking of you when he is so ill.thanks

Very sad news harri, but it is for the best, and a blessing in disguise. In time you would have worn yourself out caring for him, and that would be of no help to either of you. Time for you now to make some more happy memories with your dear DH. flowersflowers

?For Harrigran at this sad and difficult time

kittylester Mon 18-Oct-21 15:55:23

Harri, I am sad that it has come to this but relieved for you. You can now go back to being a wife. And, what a lovely thing for your DH to do for you.

GrannySomerset Mon 18-Oct-21 15:28:27

Dear harrigran, so hard for you but once twenty-four hour care is necessary there really isn’t a choice - no one person can do it all, as I am finding out. Hope the right place is available so you can share the load.

Dogsmakemesmile Mon 18-Oct-21 15:16:27

Dear Harrigran. My heart goes out to you. On paper (and in time) it is the right decision but will feel all wrong. Is there anyone around to support you? As others have said, you should be able to visit and be his partner again rather than nurse. You have done an amazing job. You could not have done more.

EkwaNimitee Mon 18-Oct-21 14:08:38

harrigran I'm so sorry your DH will leave the home you have together but it seems the right decision. It's become an increasing struggle for you and you need to keep going. I hope you both have more companionable times together now.

brook2704 Mon 18-Oct-21 14:04:10

Oh harrigran my heart goes out to you, what a difficult decision to make and you must be feeling so sad and upset
Sending you much love and support ❤️

Grandmadinosaur Mon 18-Oct-21 13:55:15

So sorry that’s it’s come to this harrigran. A difficult decision to make but I hope the right one for both of you.

grandMattie Mon 18-Oct-21 13:38:37

Oh, harrigran, what a dreadful decision to have to take, however rational. My heart goes out to you. You are all certainly in our prayers this end. Much love ? ❤️

Such a difficult time for you both. ?

aggie Mon 18-Oct-21 12:53:35

That is such a hard decision Harrigran but your husband needs the care and you can be his wife , not running ragged as his carer ! How brave of him to agree xxx

Grandmajean Mon 18-Oct-21 12:48:03

Very very difficult time for you harrigran but nursing home care would give you more time and energy for just being with your DH

Jaxjacky Mon 18-Oct-21 12:26:33

Very sad harrigran and so hard for you both, in my thoughts.
