Hi my husband has just been diagnosed with mild dementia if I am honest I think things started a long time ago he’s 81 now
When I look at the different stages of dementia I can pick symptoms from each stage he’s sleeping lots no real conversation memory issues apathy he’s lost his humour it’s like a different person he’s with me in body but not in person.
I keep thinking I will wake up one morning and he will be his old self energetic funny and loved to walk all that has gone it’s a lonely place.
How do I carry on with my social life when he can’t join in I feel selfish and guilty going to invites on my own but if I don’t I will loose everything not that it’s lots of invites but now and again
Thank you for reading
