Being able to separate AD from its host is hard to do. But you seem to be able to handle that well so kudos to you. "They know not what they do" works pretty well for patience. Many blessings to you

High performing athletes talk about slowing the game down so they can make the big play. In a sense, that is what I have tried to do especially when my first action might be the wrong reaction. Being a caregiver is hard, you make the commitment to see it through and then own it. Make the most of your time during the early stages and be sure to get advice from an attorney. This is definately not how we planned our retirement but life must go on. Best wishes headed your way.

I pray for God to give me more patience. At times watching my husband get worse is horrible. He tried to put his razor in his mouth thinking it was a toothbrush. I just want to scream. My life is frozen in care mode....I no longer have a life. Very hard!

I have so much to say. But I can’t write much at the moment. I’ve been dealing with my beloved husband’s Alzheimer’s for 8 years. We are still relatively young. I cry a lot. Sometimes I cry loudly when I am alone. I have been grieving for 7 or 8 years. It only gets worse and gets harder. We have no children. I am the only caregiver. I’m worn out and depressed. I will write more later. I have to get him something to eat right now.

“They know not what they do” will become my mantra. Thank you so much new friend.❤️
