My husband has dementia, was confirmed last December, but was evident long before.
John has been my soul mate for over thirty years, and during that time he cared for me, I have my own mental problems.
We talked about everything, worked together, we were a team, never apart.
But now I feel everyday he is slipping away from me, I am losing the person who was my rock. We have no family and have always been insular. I sleep badly, I am responsible for everything, I worry about the future and if what I am doing is right for John. I miss being able to share my concerns with him, because as soon as I have said it, he has forgotten, so there is no point. Every day I feel him slipping away, and I miss him. Our relationship has changed. I love him dearly and want to do the best for him, I love him so much.
