Hi Brianne,

I can appreciate how difficult this might be.if he is already totally housebound. There are facilities to help people like your husband, such as an ambilift at the airport, so that there is no need for either of you to climb stairs. If arranged in advance, you can be met at the entry to the airport or at check-in and there are services to bring him to the plane. Have his doctors told him how long he is likely to have left?

I am glad to hear that you do have one close friend to confide in and that, having been widowed herself, she will know and understand what you are going through. What a pity that you have moved away from her, but thank goodness for the telephone.

Tryng to remain cheerful and optimistic around your husband will be very difficult. Do you manage to have a good cry from time to time? If so, don't stem your tears, let them flow, as they are a great stress reliever.

I will continue to pray for you both. Please keep in touch as and when you can. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
