Dear Bill,

I can hear the sadness and despair in your post and I just wanted to say that you are not alone. I'm sure that lots of people with more experience than I have will comment but I wish you peace in the storm that is raging around you. Be kind to yourself and take things gently.

Bill, such a heart rending post. I hope you find the reserves of strength you need to be with your wife at this very harrowing time, and that you have family and friends supporting you. The hospital may be able to put you in touch with counselling services or there is help through www.endoflifecare-intelligence.org.uk.

Hello Bill.although I am older than you 77years old I have been on this wicked journey with dementia with my lovely wife June for the last 9years.she is now in a nursing home and I see her every day that's enough about me.I found Talking point about 2years ago and to be honest I think it has kept me sane .i sorry I cant offer you any more positive advice keep strong and look after yourself and if you have family or friends try to open up to them I know how hard it is in fact at times it's impossible.take care and keep posting on T P tony

Bill I'm so sorry to hear your news. I hope that you have friends and family nearby to support you. When a doctor gives a timeframe, it is his experience that guides him, but it is not fixed in stone, it could be longer and you will have more time together, but sadly the reverse could also be true. However long you have left together is precious.

Share your happy memories with your beloved and remember the best times with your family too. That way, not all your memories will be sad ones.
Thinking of you........Maureen.x.

Oh my heart is aching for you and your lovely wife we two are both in our sixties.Youre right it is horrendous and my husband is only midway with LBD .We are still managing quality of life but I'm aware it can change not only slowly but quite rapid,I am honestly dreading what is in front of me .I don't think anyone can make you feel better about the situation only that lots of us do understand the sadness and mental torment that you the sufferer and career is feeling at this moment .All I can say is keep strong ,God bless.xx

So very sorry to read your post Bill, this is a terribly sad time for you. I hope the time you still have with your wife gives you the opportunity to share your love for each other. Even if she's very ill I'm sure on some level she will know you are there.
