Hello. I am 82 and have been losing my lovely husband since first symptoms in2017. I am talking to you because I know how alone one can feel. Sorry about the bold type but I don't know how to change it. Please wear your hearing aids as they will protect your brain health. This last year he has deteriarated faster. I try to remain calm and pick my battles. If it is not life threatening I try to walk away but when they are irrational it is so hard. I drink gin in the middle of the night in order to sleep. I am amazed at the courage of others on this forum. tell them that you need them and that they are your best friend and they need to stay with you. Big hug
Awe thanks Mirislle I have to put cream on my feet of a night as they itch and bedtime I pray god takes me as I can't walk through my disability but because of this I get so short tempered if I go away what do I came back to. I love my wife dearlyand we have never been apart but I need help and who do I ask im scared,
I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s so hard. Have you spoken to the GP or memory clinic. When we got the diagnosis, they referred us to the local Alzheimer’s Society support worker who did a home visit and was excellent in telling me things I didn’t know I needed to know and giving me details of other places I could get support.
