My wife has deteriorated in the last 24 hours and is finding it hard to get her breath what a horrible thing to have to witness She has stopped eating and only taking a few sips of water I just don’t know what to do it’s so heartbreaking to think I can’t help her i don’t think she knows who I am I just wish I could help her more the nurses told me that her body is shutting down I just wish there was more I could do for her I feel like I’m not doing enough for her
