The pain and the loss is not measured by whether it is a spouse or a parent that is slipping away from us. The one we have loved, still love,has in many ways disappeared to us. Only a golden thread of memories that continue to join our hearts together, continues on. Thank you for sharing Skye. I pray blessings, peace and strength on you and Chad in this coming year. .-= Donna Webb´s last blog ..Coal and Jewel =-.

Skye–I’m also in deep gratitude for your willingness to share. One thought about the phone calls between Chad and his friends: It’s okay that the calls are awkward. It’s an awkward time. I think it means a great deal to his friends when Chad’s up to a call. And, it’s okay that the conversations are a struggle for Chad. It’s really not about the talking but about spending a few moments together. It’s about his friends letting him know how much he’s loved. Even if he can’t take the calls, he can take the love. We’re all thinking of you and sending you many, many embraces of love.

Skye,,,thank you for sharing your heartfelt post with all of us. I cannot imagine the pain you are going through right now in seeing your husband in such pain. Your a very special person and your children are very lucky to have a wonderful caring mother…that is what they will remember when they are grown..not the constant reminders to be quiet as daddy is resting. They will remember the love you gave him during this hard time for you all. As Sharon and Judy both stated you are also in my prayers.

Oh, Skye. I am so sorry for what you are going through. Even though our situations are different I can identify with your pain of missing the way your husband used to be. I often feel that type of grief. Constantly getting used to new “normals” is so hard especially when you feel as if you are only seeing your husband decline. I wish I could give you a hug tonight. I will pray for you.
