Marie,
I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time now. It is so hard to take care of someone who cannot communicate with you. I have been helping take care of my mom (1 1/2 days a week) for several years. The last few years there has been no communication. We keep talking and tell her how much we love her. Of course, there is a difference between a mom and a husband.
So many of the responses have been wonderful. Sometimes its hard to feel or remember, but I believe God has our best in mind in all He does. When Ed goes, heaven is a wonderful place for him. You will need to draw close to Him and others who love Him. I agree about the book by Dr. Dobson.

I love you and am praying for both of you.

God bless. Beckie
