I read this site several nights a week - probably spend a good ten hours or more a week here, which is a lot compared to all the other things I squeeze into the other 158 hours. As a caregiver, it gives me a peek into the world of survivors and helps me understand things my husband may be dealing with. I see a lot of posts stating that acceptance is a long lonely journey. So much discussion on ones old self and new self. It's so overwhelming - and the best I can do right now is accept that things will be different.
