Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from two to five PM Eastern time on serious XM triumph 11 Frank. Welcome to the program.

Hi, Dr. Laura. Hi. Hi.

I met you in Detroit many years ago and I gave you a Tweety Bird mouth pad.

Oh my god. Yes. Thank you. We go back. That's very. Yes. Listen. I need your advice. I was married to my wife for 12 years. I knew her for 14.

And we just had a wonderful marriage. It was I adore her and eight months into our marriage. She was diagnosed with Parkinson's.

And by the grace of God for at least 10 years, her her symptoms were very minimal. So we we got to really have a joyful life.

So the last two years, it became much more difficult and the last six to seven months, I was her primary caregiver.

And I got her through everything and we we did we did well and she she stayed home, never went to a care center and so she was under hospice.

And the last 12 to 14 hours were just there awful. And she had issues with mucus build up and she was in terrible pain.

And I was texting back and forth with our our hospice nurse who was wonderful. And we we gave her at your theme for the for the mucus.

So we can pass on the medical part. I'm not sure that's going to be useful to help you with.

All right. My problem is that for those hours, I had to watch her go through hell. And eventually after after many hours, I was with her when she passed.

It was euphoria for me when she passed because I knew the pain was gone.

But I'm having difficulty forgetting the those hours prior, they were just they were really difficult.

And you're not ever going to forget that, sir, are you thinking I could give you a hint on how you'd forget it? That's a part of your life forever.

Well, I assume that over time, it's it's going to fade.

It will, it will. I'd like to back up and say something though. Sure. When you said she was in horrible pain. And it was so.

And you were there watching her be in horrible pain. She was in horrible pain.

Not being alone. She had you there.

I'm not a blessing. That was for her to have you there. While she's suffering.

Yes.

So maybe you could remember that part first and then go into the ugly part. Second.
