My husband lost his independence at 51 due to multiple strokes. He’s 69 now. He still misses driving whenever and wherever he wants.

I can almost hear my husband’s voice as he looks around Dan’s room with a bit of childlike jealousy. It’s extremely depressing and trying to be a caregiver, but it’s worth it to have your loved one still here.
