how much more??

[scotty2]

I'm really here just to get it all out.  12 months ago I made an emergency trip back east to have my elderly parents placed in a nursing home - they hade been living in their house but my mom had alzheimers and my dad parkinsons.  My dad had an accident and had to be put in the hospital and that is when the drs.said he could not go back home - it was a blessing in disguise because I had been trying to get him to agree to leave the house.  Anyway - I got them into a nursing home and came back to my state then looked around for a nursing home here (I lived 3000 miles away and figured it would be best bringing them where I was available 24/7) - In May I brought them out here.  My mother developed behavior issues and it was touch and go for awhile as to whether she could stay where I had placed them, but they got it under control.   However, in December my mom got pneumonia and passed away.  (on Xmas Eve) -  My dad, having been married for 70 years took it pretty hard, but he has come around.  Just last week I had to have my dog (16 years old) put to sleep.  Now just yesterday I found out my job (18 years with this company!!) has been phased out.
Thru all this, my husband and I have been having problems and I don't know if we are going to make it. I am already on anti depressants (amitryptaline) because I can not sleep.  But this is all really wearing on me - I am starting to have feelings of anxiety and don't know how much more I can take.  Our health insurance is thru my employer and now we will lose that, - just too much for me to deal with.  anyway thanks for listening

Hi,

I am sorry for all you are going through.  It does always seem like everything
happens at once.  If you lose your med benefits at work, can you be put on
your husband's insurance?  I know how expensive these meds are so I understand
your concern.  I hope things improve soon!
