So glad your husband is getting stronger. Thank you for writing this. It’s not easy to watch your loved one suffer, and know you can’t do anything to help, other than be there, lonely, as well. It’s the last day of carers week today. So this is so apt (even if you didn’t think of yourself as a carer, you probably were).

Yeah I’ve never really embodied the title as I struggled to accept he was sick - even for this long… just kept hoping we’d wake up and it would be different. Thanks Jane! He’s doing much better now. ✨✨

Yep, sounds familiar. I did that for 10+ years. I just thought of myself as his ‘helper’. It wasn’t until we were filling in a PIP benefit form that it dawned on me I was his carer. Scary to think there are millions of people doing the same thing. Working, and caring at the same time. It’s so hidden.

“Life is multi-layered and complex and a thousand and one things are true all at once.” All if this. Beautiful words, Claire 💛
