sambatman's Journal, 18 December 2014

It is like 4 in the morning or something like that right now. My father in law has taken to somehow 'putting' himself on the floor, ripping off his diaper and then screaming. Oh I am not a natural nurturer or caretaker. Neither is my husband. We are getting by. I have taken the night shift for now. I am so incredibly tired. This is by far the worst life experience yet for me. I hope not to repeat anything like it, well, ever.
I am sad for my husband right now as well. He is having to live with and watch what is happening to his dad. All though I do not want him to die, it is going to happen, no getting around it, I just pray that he is taken soon. To end his suffering as well as my husbands. This really sucks.

Thank you Facebook and all those who read this, having an output is helping me in such ways no one will ever really understand.

Oh my, I am so sorry you are going through this. You are an amazing person to give your husband and his father this kind of support. I don't think I could do it and admire you because you can and you are. Hang in there and remember to be good to yourself.

I am so sorry to hear about what is happening in your life and your husbands. It must be a horrific tragedy to watch someone so dear suffer in such a way and to feel so helpless. It is so incredibly stressful for the caregivers who suffer just as much as those with the illness and sometimes even more according to the research in this area. I can totally understand why you would want to put an end to his suffering which seems so incredibly unfair to him and those that love him. Despite everything you are doing your very best and taking care of your father-in-law which is a true testament to your compassion despite the normal thoughts of wanting it to end which we would all have. I can only pray that your suffering is relieved very soon. My thoughts and prayers go out to you in this tragic time.
