10. My husband died of vascular dementia 2+ years ago

Its been a lonely road to be on, I know that much.

There was no "help" until the very end at $500.00 a day for the last stop hospice place.

He'd broken his hip and failed to recover and could not breathe or swallow.

I wish I had some good advice but I don't.

I've lost so much, so very much.

Hang-in there best you can and he's lucky he's got you around.
