Jean, I am sorry to hear about your husband and I fully agree, we must live for today and put ourselves first some times. I bought my home in Banos de Europa, Fase 3 in February and I am still working full time as I'm 57. I plan to retire alot sooner that the state expects us too.
We must live for today, as tomorrow may never come. I'm a team leader in a care home so I know how emotional it is to support others.
I'm always here if you need someone to speak too.
God bless you
Jane
I had to step in your chat as I've 4 children and like you, they want you to put yourself and your husband first.
I hope he is getting all of the care and support he needs.
