Thinking of you Pet and glad you were with your husband at the end.

Please take care of yourself and accept all the support offered by your family.

You are one truly gracious lady and my thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry Pet. I too would be furious re the Nursing Home as surely it is imperative that there is a continuation of care and as little disruption as possible re your husband.

Please rest if you can and take care of yourself.

I think we would all find your position difficult. You have been a 5* wife to your husband and your love for him shines through your posts. Can only send hugs.

Have you tried Headway for support? They are really a charity for people of working age as they have limited fund...

I saw my GP after my father died and I was really struggling with guilt and other emotions plus caring for my much older husband and he was 5*. I talked through my feelings about being a carer and he felt that they were normal and I did not have clinical depression, although he agreed I was at risk ...

I echo Mrs A's advice. Just agree Penny. Do not even try to argue. Also please do not beat yourself up re getting cross -none of us are saints and we all have breaking points. People with dementia are very demanding and it is normal to snap occasionally.

Please ask for an emergency app with your GP Sarah and tell them what you have told us - that you are at breaking point. I agree SS have crisis teams and hopefully your GP will contact them on your behalf. At 33 you have so much time ahead of you. I have nothing to add to the advice given here but t...
