Has anyone felt that they’re the worse carer in the world? I know I should be doing all the right things like being patient, not getting irritated, having compassion, but I do the opposite and it seems all my worse feeling come out. We’re driving back from seeing our daughter, about 4 hour drive, my wife unable to converse with like she used to, me running out of things to say, and I’m hurting inside remembering our life when talking all the time together was normal. That’s never going to happen again and it hurts. And to add to that is the fact that it going to get worse in so many ways. Do I feel sorry for myself ? Yes I do and I can’t even communicate my hurt to my wife and get sympathy and support. Someone said to me that by the time it reaches the last stages emotions are numbed anyway...I don’t want my love to die but love gets a battering with dementia and perhaps it’s inevitable.
