I speak from experience. Life is heartbreaking at times and horrible things happen. They are often things that we never dreamed of could happen (I speak from personal experience). They will never be the same again and we now have two choices. We can continue as we were in the past but things will get worse and eventually it will destroy us. Or, sad as it may be, we face the facts that now exist and we plan and think how to overcome the problems. Then we choose the wisest option and WE GO FOR IT AND WE DO NOT GIVE UP. We keep going and make it our life's determination to go on to a better future. If that means making major and drastic changes now to change what is going on, then so be it. Chances are they can't be worse than where you find yourself now. I lost my ability to walk due to an old spinal injury and lost everything in my life that mattered. I nearly died and it is a miracle I am here. But I made up my mind, I can't walk - but I find ways using a walker or leaning on a wheelchair, and thank god I can still safely drive. I set myself huge goals and do everything I can to achieve them - and I DO succeed. I will be 86 and do the impossible for my age and situation because of sheer will power and determination. I just finished six years of on-line college courses and have one more year of computer school. I hold two jobs I love (l4 years and 50 years). I look after all of my affairs l00%. There are many hobbies and interests I have and I go out to eat by myself all the time. Was it easy? Hell, no. But I had a choice - burn out and be destroyed or dust myself off and achieve the impossible. You are at that point now. Your first loyalty has to be to YOU and to your husband, and I hope you get another dog who needs a home to love. Consider placing your mother into a good facility and start living the life you have left. Do it now.
