[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP askes for advice on how to emotionally support her boyfriend and in usual DCUM fashion people suggest things completely unrelated: hospice an social security.[/quote] I'm the poster up thread who talked about hospice. One of the things I observed/experienced about hospice for the spouse of the patient was that it made it much easier to BE emotionally supportive if you did not have to worry about certain things. Fine, OP's boyfriend is not quite terminal enough to qualify for hospice, but to suggest that it's not related demonstrates a pretty big misunderstanding. Therapy is great. Support groups are great. But if you are overwhelmed with aspects of physical care, it's hard to be supportive emotionally. [/quote]
