Hi Sue I do think of you and Ray often. Have been unable to get into Chat sessions but will try again to log in. Eric has also lost his ability to speak and has given up trying now unless I ask him to say a particular word. I miss him also - he is there but not there - all I seem to be able to do is make sure he is not in pain, eats and is comfortable. Can't even get a smile now. I so wish there was something I could do to make life better for him.

Take care of yourself and know that I do feel your sadness and pray for you and Ray.

Hope this week is better.

Hi Sue

I tried to find the chat session but wasn't sure if I was in the right screen. I am in New Zealand so tried to get on at 12 noon on Wednesday as you mentioned that you were in NSW which is two hours behind New Zealand.

I have been reading your posts and it sounds as though our situations are similar. I am carer for my husband full time - he has had several strokes over the past five years and is doing quite well considering but has very little sight and doesn't talk very much unless spoken to but understands all that is going on.

The group for carers sounds very supportive.

Best wishes and I will try again next week.

Gwendoline.
