I know she is in the best place,
Being looked after by wonderful people.
But I miss her.
Her dementia was so bad,
I tried my best to care for her .
But I miss her.
I just could not cope,
The worse she got the harder it became.
But I miss her.
She is being cared for,
I am much more relaxed.
But I miss her .
I have time for myself,
Doing things I used to do,
But I miss her.
She is no longer with me,
She needed more care than I could give.
But I miss her.
So long we’ve been together,
I will always be in love with her.
But I miss her.
My wonderful wife is in the best place,
I am getting back to my own life.
But I miss her.
I really miss her.

A poignant write Gold. Oh dear! A widow I know - her husband would not have home-help. She did it all in caring for him, and he lingered on infirm until age 100.
Thanks Orchi/
Your love for your dear wife is second to none and these words are wholly understandable sir...
Thank you for your kind words Neville.
Sending you both my prayers.
Most kind Clara, most kind.
The missing will ever be there dear friend - love is no respecter of times or health conditions - - prayerful thoughts are with you . That number of Joe brought tears to my eyes - - dreams are still there and always will be dear Andy.
Thank you so much Fay. Yes those dreams will never fail.
Andy

Cold comfort in knowing your lovely wife is not in the pain you are suffering Andy
An endless grief
Always in our thoughts
Thank you Andrew, she is in a good place and I will deal with it, I do get these moments though and this was one of them.
Andy,
Of course you miss her!
She is the love of your life!
Take comfort in knowing that...
“My wonderful wife is in the best place,”...
At least you know she’s being taken care by wonderful people in the best place she can be with her dementia!
My love to Joyce and to you!
~Laura~
Thank you Laura, yes I know it is for the best but I have these moments, I know they will pass, my love for her will never pass though.
Andy
Your love will forever be there!💞
Just got out of hospital and found your words tonite which sadden even the coldest heart.
Thank goodness you have found strength to bear these terrible pains of anguish and sorrows.
And of course Andy, the faith to know that there is always tomorrow and we must be there to live it through to our destiny, whatever that is and whatever it means.
Thank you d a, yes I have found the strength to go through these times with the help of words and music, always music.
Yes our destiny is there ahead of us and it will be waiting for us - but not yet as there is too much music to listen too.
Andy.
