I appreciate your responses. Jill and I are trying to sort out our feelings about this whole experience.

Dada was in rehab for 100 days after his most recent hospitalization. We enjoyed the freedom of not having to have someone at home to watch him.

But we made the commitment to him that we would bring in home although we were dreading it. He passed away while in rehab.

Jill is having a hard time with all this. I wish I knew about this forum while we were actively involved in his care. It would have been comforting to know others understood.

I noticed that there is an after care group. I think that Jill's concerns and my issues should be better addressed with those folks so I'll post with that group.

Best wishes to you all for the love you share with your parents as well as with the rest of us.

Thank you again.
