Hour after hour, day after day you pray that God will just let your spouse live and remember you and the life you have built. You sit, eat, sleep, and love them with all your heart but it doesn't seem to matter. The only emotional comfort happens when you make it happen. There are no smiles, no jokes, no laughing. They don't notice and don't care how you look or if you spent days making or doing something for them. You sleep in the same bed but never touch. No compliments or encouragement. They won't tell you how to fix it. They don't show any emotion and get upset if you do.
Foods they loved, they now hate.
Foods they hated, they now love.
Living together and totally alone. Even a touch on the arm would give you hope for tomorrow.
