After a much needed 2-week respite where I went to Florida with my brother and sis-in-law, I was to pick up my husband at the NH he was in and bring him home; they said they would accept him for permanent placement pending Medicaid approval and I agreed, as it takes two people to cope with him and I couldn't do it by myself anymore. Now I suddenly find myself with freedom from all the care-taking but remembering all the good things about him, and missing him, and tearful and unsure of my new life. Any thoughts about coping with this?
