Dear All,
One of the great sorrows of loving someone with AD is that one's beloved forgets who one is.
However, despite the immense suffering this causes many I think I may be immune to this.
Before I met my wife-my love, my life was full of misadventures and early on I realised that I was on my own. I would and have accepted the censure of others if I could find praise from my Self.
As of now, my wife-my love, only forgets me on occasion and it unsettles me in as far as it is evidence of her continuing decline. Who knows how I will feel when her forgetting of me is permanent? I am hoping it is a sorrow that never afflicts me.
Clearly, her forgetting of me will be a problem. I am her sole carer. I would not wish for her to be alarmed in any way by the "stranger" in front of her.
I hope no one was been offended by anything in this post as no offence was intended. I just needed to share what I am feeling.
Best wishes,
the goodtwin
