Spouses and the Disease

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

How does one comfort a spouse when you know they are scared because of

what is happening to you? My husband is a man of few words. So the

way he is dealing with my disease is by waking me up in the middle of

the night to see if I cam breathing. I am a light sleeper and am half

asleep and I his hand on my chest trying to find my heartbeat. I know

it is sweet, but what can I do to help him deal with his anxiety?

Thanks,

Pat
