I have been thinking about the possibility of starting a blog about my journey through my husband's illness. It has been really helpful to get it all off my chest. At the same time it has also caused other things in emotional nature to happen. What do you guys think? This blog is for my kid's and their schooling and so families far and wide can see what we are up to. I don't really want the two to mesh so to speak.
I need opinions here. I feel like I am becoming self obsessed or something and that I don't want. I don't want an all incompasing all about me thing It just helped me so very much to have it out there and I have found I am not alone and if I can help others while healing myself all in the same process it would be fantastic.
So let me have it.

Vanessa,
I think it is a great idea. It will help you to journal and if you help one person somewhere in the world - well, think of it as the gentleman who helped your husband - what a relief it was to finally get a name - an area to look at.
I have a few websites which I don't share with each personal website due to it not having to do with the other.
One you would know why I started: I started one when I helped my mother-in-law with her Alzeheimer's - I found a lot of help from people who visited the site and left emails to me.
I think this will help you, it will help your husband as it will help you, it will help your children as it will help you. :) KWIM?
I'm glad talking has helped you - it's supposed to - that's why we women find it so easy to talk to each other - it's what we do. ;)
Relax - drink some hot tea and have a piece of chocolate.
Hugs. I think it would be a great way for you to connect with others going through the same type of thing, you know? Sorry you all have been through so much--I think I was only marginally aware of a tiny bit of it.
Kathy,
I am now blubbering all over the place and having a hard time reading what I am writting. Thank you so much. I would love to see what you have done. All of it. How amazing and I had no idea. We must do that coffee that got cancelled.
Thank you so much.
I actually have a freind who is going through the same symptoms as me although her husband has a different problem it was good to talk to her.

Gina,
I really didn't share for a long time because I didn't even know what he had. Now that I have shared I seem to be doing it more often and I am finding my floodgates opening, ick. I didn't want to be a drama queen so i held back alot.
thanks for your thoughts

Vanessa I too think you should start a blog about your husbands illness. Even if not one person commented on it there would still be the release for you. I cant imagine what you are going through. Praying for you sweet friend!
I think it is a great idea! It will be good for you to write things down, and I am sure you will be an encouragement to someone out there who is going through the same thing. You have much to offer, Vanessa!
Mrs. D.
That is the whole idea. You put it in great words. Even if I never get a "comment" that is okay because after talking a bit I see how it has affected me and how it could help.
Thank you for your prayers they are very much appreicated.

Randi,
If I can somehow reach someone out there and be of help to them I would feel so privledged. Thank you for your kind words, I needed them as right now I don't feel I have much to offer.
