Dian’s deep knowledge of the disease process and medications helps her relay symptoms and changes to the doctor to develop the best care for my husband to keep him comfortable, calm, and relaxed as we go through this “process” of waiting on the Lord to take him into eternity. Sometimes I find myself getting uptight and emotional and looking for problems before they are even there, and Dian helps me sort things out to reality. She reassures and encourages me that I am doing a good job of taking care of my husband, and I can keep going for another few days. She arranges respite times to let me rest when she realizes that I am worn to frazzle and don’t even realize it myself. She is not just my husband’s nurse, she is my helper and friend as well. She is honest and truthful with us both about what we are facing as things change from time to time. And she talks to him, not just to me. This walk is tough, but she is making it doable.
