Hi
I am new to this group, my husband is terminally ill and sleeps loads. Last week I spent ages trying to get him up everyday to see visitors and then when they went he went back to bed. He is now sleeping a lot but people are asking to visit. It’s great that he has so many friends but I was wondering how others cope? Would it be rude to say no to them? Not been in this situation before and feel like it’s an added pressure. Also feel like he makes more effort for visitors but it then takes any energy he has. Sorry rambling now but just wondered how others cope?
