"Do you think that WW3 will be a danger?" That sentence doesn't make sense to me. Did you mean, "Do you think there is a danger of a WW3?"

I have anticipatory grief about my very disabled spouse. Practicing stoicism along with religious faith. Helps a bit. Loss of mother, who I also cared for, was very hard. Both my soul mates.

Our deepest condolences to so many in the comments who have experienced profound loss. Many folks have expressed ongoing suffering from grief and asked questions on what can be done to manage it - below are three other videos by Ms. McGahon that may be helpful resources. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIWqmnujnKufpq8&t kzbin.info/www/bejne/mna1Y4OElqyCoKc&t kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Cxf3R5equknKM&t These are no substitute for individualized counseling or medical assistance, and KZbin has many other great resources. We hope these are just that - helpful resources for those struggling with grief.

This is not Catholic teaching. We age with suffering and allowing Christ to suffer through us, saying yes to the Lord. Growth takes place with pain and suffering. Aging with dignity is a buzzword phrase that Hospice uses "Anne of Ireland." You are going to answer for this none sense to the Lord. Stop the narcism!

BEWARE of Therapists, there are more bad ones than good ones. ONLY use a therapist on a personal recommendation, after talking at length with the person doing the recommending. Look at the word “The Rapist”. Seriously, in my profession I’ve seen therapists turn a mildly concerning condition into a life altering debilitating mental illness. It’s NOT the qualifications, it’s the talent and experience. Remember, most people who go into the field are trying to fix themself.

@whyimsmarterthanyou 7 ай бұрын
Just walk away if you can. The aged will only take and take and take from you, financially and or emotionally. Today, Dad got confused and took a double dose of blood pressure, beta blocker and blood thinners. He flew into an absolute rage when I decided to call his doctor to ask if I should hold back his nighttime meds or just carry on as per usual. I actually felt anxiety for a moment. A second later the doc came on the line and explained what I needed to do about his evening meds. Not the first time he's pulled this kind of rage at me for reaching out for professional help. It's almost like he's afraid that he's going to "get in trouble" from someone or some authority. Often times the authority is a doctor, but other times it's City Hall, the garbage man or a neighbour. He's an odd one for sure. Poor ole Mum. I know he pulled this act on her for years and years. I feel bad I wasn't more supportive of her when she was the one dealing with his moods and tantrums.

@robynelliott5603 17 күн бұрын
I totally know where you are coming from, he has been able to get away with these tantrums and rages all his married life and now, alzheimers or not, he still pulls it on you. And you are being expected just to be there as a doormat for this pulling down of your own life. He probably does have dementia or the other alzheimers, but what I find so insidious in this whole caregiving thing is that the caregiver is so worn out by the selfish demands of the needy one (parent/husband/ father/ whatever) it destroys one perfectly nice person, takes away all their joy to keep someone alive who gives you hell. I wish I could walk away, I gave away good jobs and have now have the caregivng role of my husband who sounds like a replica of your father. If there is a doctor or someone else around, he is charming and seems perfectly lucid. I usually manage well, can be loving and certainly have given him good care, but sometimes it would be so nice just to have two weeks away just to walk the beach and not worry about what I have to do for him...yet I know so many others with much worse...kids with extreme autism or huge things wrong, so I try to be grateful and create as much harmony and peace as possible. Good luck, I hope you can have some help or some time out.

Today is my 70 th Wedding Anniversary. I lost Paul 2 years ago this March. So, we were together 70 years, married for 68 yrs. The grief is with me every moment of everyday. I have lost my independence. Yes- I do identify with everything you said. But I can guarantee it will not be accepted. No- so in my very old age- I have to find my own joy. And, I will do that. I can not stop missing and needing Paul, but I can live with God's Grace in Gratitude that I had him for so long. And, this great big wonderful family that came from our marriage. Amen

What a wonderful legacy. Thanks for sharing about your lifetime of love with Paul. I guess the double edged sword of true love is the inevitable loss of it at some point. We can never be ready for it. I had less than half that time with Jim but am still at a loss 4 yrs later. I also have a relationship with the Lord which keeps me (at least partially) sane. My mom went into full blown Alzheimer’s after my dad died after 63 years together. So l lost my daddy, mom and husband all within 4 years. As David said in the bible, my loved one will not return to me but l will go to them. Knowing that is the best comfort of all. Blessings!

The options that Jim promotes are a fantasy - not likely to be available in America anytime soon, heck we can't even get decent health coverage for those *wanting to live!* And he seems to not understand the many reasons people may choose to exit. Consider a massive debilitating stroke, consider ALS, consider dementia on the horizon. How is "the system" going to address these to make life fulfilling for those afflicted? Sometimes saying it's been enough and I'm ready to depart could be reasonable and acceptable.

Stepdad is a cold unloving stepdad😢 I'm quite sure hes a functioning autistic man. Hecan only discuss weather.nothing deep or loving. My mom never realized how different he was for over 50 years of their marriage. He remarried within a year and stepmom hates me. I am declining physically and mentally😢 i need assisted living now. I have no idea how to get help. Im just gonna end up in hospital begging for help. Ive reached bottom! Everyones been so cold to me and I was cut out of everything my mom wanted me to have.

I guess I hide my grief well. I lost a few family members, all within 9 months time. Two were sudden deaths. The last one being my dad. I was too busy getting his affairs in order, no time to grieve. I’ve locked my emotions. He’s been gone over 13 years now, and I still haven’t grieved. I do have nightmares quite often, were I’m yelling and screaming at him, fighting him. Asking him why he took off on us. It’s disturbing to say the least. I’m on meds to keep it at bay. The others appear in my dreams from time to time. I don’t even know why I’m writing all this. Maybe I’m losing my humanity.
