We have finally SETTLED IN with this new life we have to lead. Our finances are finally on track, Joe is feeling better, we are used to the LVAD as a part of our day, we are hanging out with friends again and life is good. We are finally retired and I’m okay with our new life.
I absolutely love caring for my husband and being the retired married couple together. I know it sounds so 1950’s but I truly love my role as wife. We have always been able to do things with each other because not only are we married, but we are also best friends. We make a good retired team.
When you are forced into a life that we now have, you have to have a strong bond with each other or your relationship is going to fail you. Keep an open mind and learn to like what the other is into or find hobbies that you both will like. It can be challenging for each of you, but you can make it happen. We are retired and we HAVE to be together so we make sacrifices because it’s the right thing to do.
Getting SETTLED IN was easy, finding things to do and stay busy is a little harder in our situation but we are doing whatever it takes. When you don’t complain, you learn to adapt and remember you are in it together all things will work out for the best if you put forth your best.
Enjoy your spouse if you’re married and always remember the reason you married them in the first place. Find the love in all you do and get SETTLED IN, you both deserve the happiness each other can give.
Unconditional Love
