just spent 2 hours consoling a very upset wife. As some of you know, my MIL had a stroke on NYE. We were recently forced to put her in assisted living. Wife went and got her and carried her home yesterday so they could have Thanksgiving together. Wife said she just sat there like she was in another world all day. My wife was adopted as an infant and has no other family on her side of the family. She is very upset and its hard to watch her go through it.

Sorry, Bubba. That's about as tough as it gets. Don't know what to do most times.

Sorry Bubba. It really sucks when the ones you love are hurting and there's nothing to say.

man, we were just sitting there talking, I could tell she was upset. All of a sudden she just broke down. I went through this with my dad, watched cancer eat him to the bone in less than 3 months. But, you have to be very careful giving someone else advice. Even if you have been married to them for over 2 decades. I just mostly listened.

All you really can do is just be there for her. Life is a beech man, as you already know.

thanks for the concern guys. I probably should not have posted this because I know everyone has their own crosses to bare. Just needed to vent a little and I had nowhere else to go.

Sad to hear about your wife's suffering. You did the best thing a father and friend could do for her. All my best wishes to you, her and y'alls family.
