“I love my wife. I always will. There are days I’d rather be dead than have to live through the things happening to her,” Dad said. “Her body might still be here, but she is gone and she has been for a very long time. I am a full-time caregiver to someone who barely knows my name. I will not apologize for what I have to do to make it so I can wake up in the morning to the reality I’m forced to endure. My life is a permanent, intolerable unhappiness. And I pray you never know what that’s like.”
