How do you all cope with watching your loved one struggling with everything. I'm trying to stay strong but every day is like ground hog day. Its exhausting, my head is all over the place. All I want to do is cry. I want to focus on the here and now but my mind keeps wandering to what life will be like after. I feel like I'm grieving already. I'm just so sad for us both. I go out for walks when my daughter comes to sit with him but this makes me feel sad that he's not able to and guilty that I can. The worst is the uncertainty of not knowing how long this will go on for.
