He is still angry about not driving or riding his dirt bike. Last year he had a horrible accident in the woods, and he still believes he can do everything he used to do. He comes to work with me as the family business was his before I bought out his partner and sold the shares to our Son, which has been at business 15 years anyway. There are so many pieces here and the bottom line is I am going out of town and he cannot be alone.... Any ideas?
Any church or club friends? Our church family has been a God-send in being both caring & trustworthy. Also, they are a ready pool of professionals across related fields that can be insightful and experienced in providing discreet respite. Sensitivity to his level of awareness is key. I had women come “cook” for my husband and serve his meals. He was very agreeable to not starving, and to being waited on😘
You're so right Steve. Unless you have a trusted person to stay with your loved one it's stressful either way.
Yes, I found travel to be a lose/lose situation. It’s stressful if you take them or not!
Follow up- He refused to go anywhere! Caused a huge issue for our whole family. I went anyway and my kids finally stepped up. He, of course had NO memory of upsetting the whole house with his tantrum. I am so over this way of life!
I had her daughter stay once, but it didn’t go well.
