Wes, hopefully that situation will make you stronger. It has to be a reason, lets hope it's for the better. Not all happenings are considered a bad thing although it looks that way.

Stay strong, there is a reason we know not at this time. Our first thoughts are, "Why me, Why now? I feel there is a reason you may not know for some time to come. Blessings comes in the same manner.

It's a real long story, but I really feel the stroke I had saved my life! Hold on to your faith, God will not turn you loose.

Fred!

Wesley,

I am so sorry to hear this news. I know it hurts and I can understand your anger. Your wife sounds like a real fighter. At this point YOU will be HER strength. You have been there and as hard as the road ahead of her will be, having you beside her and your experience will be invaluable to her.

I will be thinking of you both.

Wesley: I am so sorry. Take some comfort in knowing that you both have been through this before. You know recovery and you know the road ahead.

My best friend, who has been here for Bruce and I almost constantly for the past 2 1/2 years, stroked 6 weeks ago. You can be sure I am asking the same questions you are.

You will get your head around this, go through your stages of grieving, just like she had to 3 years ago. Allow yourself and your wife time to adjust and set up new routines to get you through this. Accept ALL help that is offered. Take full advantage of therapy strategies for her, as there may be new things out there that you were not exposed to.

As a new caregiver, you have changed roles and responsibilities, but she can help you there. Hold her tight every night, tell her how much your love her, support her efforts and be thankful she is still here with you. The rest you will figure out in time. Praying and thinking of you both-Debbie

oh wesley i am so sorry to hear the news of your wife having another stroke i know that it is difficult for you but please don"t lose faith the stroke just may even bring you closer and god may have a plan for you and i will be praying forboth of you just hold her tyight and let her know that you will always be here for your wife be strong for her and shewill get stronger for yougod bless you wesley

Adding my sorrow at hearing this too. It is often the case when one has a disability that the other, under the strain of it all, goes down too. That is why caregivers are warned to take care of themselves.

You will find the strength to cope with this and I know show her all the compassion and love she has shown you.

(((hugs))) from Sue.

Wes

Sorry to hear about your wife. Please take care of yourself too. The role of caregiver is now yours. You know one side of stroke now you are going to learn the other. You do have an advandaged here because you are a survivor God does not give you more then you can handle.

Come join us in Caregiver Chat on Tuesday or Thursday we will help you out as best we can. Take care Sally

WES,

HOST SALLY SAID IT BEST, WE ARE ALL SURVIVORS AND IN A WAY, THAT MAKES US "FAMILY" HOPE TO SEE YOU IN CHATS, BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND SUPPORT.
