Totally new to this, but feeling at the end of my tether. I love my husband so much but cannot bear to see him disappearing before my eyes. Will I ever stop crying?? I hope someone will help me but there is no one to help. I hope someone will call on me and ask me how I am, but they don't because I am not the one with dementia. No one calls on my husband either, presumably because he has dementia. I pick up the phone for someone to talk to but can't think of who to call. Who really wants to listen to me going on about how painful it is?
I feel totally selfish and inadequate. I read everybody else's difficulties and I know others are stuggling to cope too, but I am nowhere near accepting what has happened and getting on with it. I feel life has closed in on us, there is a world out there that we are no longer a part of. I look into the future and can't stand it.
Please don't tell me off for being such a wimp, I do that myself all the time!!
