There is usually sympathy given when someone loses a loved one but in my case my husband is still alive but we have lost the way of life we previously had. I have had to stop work to care for him. He is blind so going to a movie, playing card or board games no longer work. We used to enjoy camping, exploring & hiking but now I do all the driving, navigating , packing, setting up camp, cooking cleaning etc so going away is no long the relaxing holiday it was. When walking I am on alert for obstacles such as over hanging branches etc that his cane won't pick up & the more adventurous walks are too difficult to manage. Planning holidays results in disappointments because every one planned over the last 18mths has been foiled by illness or injury. i also miss having his support to do daily tasks Have others dealt with this.
