Hi, my first visit here. Being caring for my husband for many years, but for the last 5 years it has been full time. How does everyone cope with the loss of your personal life?

coping with loss of personal life

This is probably going to sound difficult, but I feel that just embracing and enjoying the "little things" with your husband can make it a lot easier. If there's a particular phrase he loves to use or some action or thing he loves to do (which probably wouldn't involve a lot of activity assuming he's old). These "little things" tend to be huge points of gratification in reifying both your love for him as well as a point of cherishing your relationship, making it easier to get by.
