Photo of couple saying goodbye after 62 years of togetherness melting hearts

The couple have been forced to stay apart due to lack of beds at the care home — The Residence at Morgan Heights in Canada — they are at but their family is trying their best to let them spend as much time as they can in the past eight months. 

Ashley Kaila, their granddaughter, shared this heartbreaking photo from her Facebook profile, along with a detailed post narrating their story. Wolf also suffers from dementia and was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. His family fears that continued separation from his wife will cause him to forget her at a time when he needs her the most. 

Ashely writes in her post, “Financially, physically and emotionally exhausted, me and my family are begging for your help my friends. We have contacted our local MLA, called Fraser Health and done in person inquiries, but none of our questions and concerns have been answered,” and ends her post with an appeal, “We want justice for my grandparents who after 62 years together deserve to spend their last moments in the same building. Please share this and tag anyone that needs to see this post to get the help we need!” The post has been shared over 8,700 times and people have been trying to help the couple and the family as much as they can.
