I was the sole caregiver to my wife of 39 years during four years of terminal illness prior to her passing in November 2010. In this book I journal our shared trials and tribulations during that arduous period and provide valuable lessons we learned along the way. As the baby boomer generation ages over the next few decades, the number of folks needing care can only increase, but recent industry and academic studies show that the ratio of younger people available to provide that care will decline. This means that future caregivers, on average, will be older, and it's also likely that they'll have infirmities of their own. In Tough Care II, I share the feelings, experiences and very difficult thoughts that entered my mind while caring for my beloved wife as she died slowly and painfully before my eyes. I sincerely hope such an honest memoir will help other baby boomers that might one day face, or have already endured, similar circumstances. I am a veteran of 20 years in the US Army and I was caring for a veteran of eight years on active duty in the US Army and another 18 years of service as an Army wife. Although no two situations are ever the same, my wife's illnesses were related to diabetes, hypertension, stroke, dementia, and depression. These are conditions common to most of us. Being the primary caregiver is a serious mental, emotional, and physical challenge. Readers will learn that perseverance is the key. This story shows that helping to provide a peaceful, loving, and respectful departure from this life might be the best way a spouse can fulfill his or her original wedding vows.
