When I was in rehab a social worker suggested that my husband seize opportunities to get out more. That excellent idea stays with me now, 8 years after my stroke. I encourage my husband to enjoy life though I miss him terribly when he is away. When he does this it recharges him and ultimately helps me too. The truth is that when we married he did not sign up for this. Our traditional Jewish ceremony did not include the admonition “ for better or worse.” My husband said this was implied.
