Here's my husband's thoughts:"As the husband of a
lady headed toward the 3rd anniversary of tm, I can
only say that the 'poor pity me' syndrome won't get
it!. There are no guaranties in this dear life of ours.
It seems we must play the game with the cards we're
dealt. Thank goodness I have a mate who has a 'I will
beat it' attitude. It's a very tough thing to face and it
must be taken one day at a time. Those of you that
can work together can make the trip much easier. One
of the best things that we have is an open channel of
communication and a lot of honesty. We are also
blessed with being on several prayer lists. Godspeed
all to recovery."(FBH)
He just came through the room and I had him read your
post as just yesterday I had told him of a wife who was
uncertain how to deal with the situation. I told him that
there were times that his response would be much greater
help than anything I could say, so he dictated his spur
of the minute ideas as he passed my chair. Hope that they
are helpful. There is a couple on the list (Dave and Joan)
who when they started she stated that this was a disease
that affected both of them, he with TM and her with a hubby
with TM, and that they were in this together. I'm sure that
they could share many thoughts.
Hope that all is going well and so glad you found this group--
there are wonderful folks with lots of support and answers for
you.
