Brenda’s Story

As her condition continued to deteriorate, doctors were no help. I finally had to place her in a full time care facility.A forty year marriage shattered in less than twenty four hours. Brenda was declared to have suffered a permanent brain injury - cause, Unknown. How do you cope? How do you stay sane? How do you keep your faith? This is a story of love, hope, and that crazy relationship between a man and a women. This is that story as originally told in random nightly blogs intended to inform friends and family of my wife’s progress and relapses. It ended up being my way of answering all those very questions…and more. I wrote, not just about the reality of the situation but even more so; the reality of love and marriage, and women and the strange and wonderful relationships created in and between this assemblage. I wrote to stay sane. This is Brenda’s story along with a meandering and often humorous tale of that crazy relationship we call love and marriage. Then one day, one Doctor did help… This story does have a happy ending.
