Praying for you and your dad and step-mom. Dementia is very difficult. Find a good church, pray and follow your wife’s advice to get counseling. And keep taking care of yourself, that’s a plus. You’ve got a lot coming at you all at once and that is stressful, while you’re processing grief.
Thanks to everyone for all the prayers and helpful advice. I’ve read ever word of all of your replies, and I can’t express how much better I feel already. Free Republic really is heaven on Earth. :-)
