Dear Kathy,
I remember when my husband was not doing well. Our world centered around him and his illness which I totally understood. I remember the day that someone asked how I was doing and it made me cry. It was the first time I had even acknowledged that I should be given concern and consideration as well.
You are doing the work of several women - all the while worried about him. Maybe if you showed him your post he would understand what you're going through a little better. I remember telling people that I didn't know which was worse - being the patient or being the caregiver. I still can't answer that.
Just know you are doing the best you can and that's all anyone can expect. Also, I imagine your husband has a little self pity as well as just the fact that he misses you when you aren't there with him.
Give yourself a break - you're doing a great! job and your husband is very blessed to have such a caring wife.
Keep up the great work.
God Bless,
Sally
