Caring for a Spouse Takes a Toll and We’re Here to Help

When you said your wedding vows so many years ago…for better, for worse, in sickness and in health, you never really put much credence in those words.  Surely, you thought the better part would be making your first home together, raising a family and perhaps taking wonderful vacations.  The worse would be…picking up dirty laundry from the floor, dirty dishes in the sink, or too many hours watching sports on TV.  To be fair I will also pick on the women…not as good a cook as mom, talks on the phone too much, or shopping is her favorite sport.

Seriously, though, we never gave much thought to sickness.  As the years have gone by we realize that sickness, be it physical or mental debilitation, is a part of aging together.  The anxiety of taking care of a spouse when they are no longer able to manage on their own is very stressful.  Your lifestyle does change.

Guilt is often part of the stress you feel as your lifestyle becomes inhibitive.  You feel guilty because you still want to go out to play golf or go out to play cards, but you can’t leave your spouse alone.  You might just need a few hours a week to be you again!
