I’ve always looked after my husband myself since his diagnosis for Alzheimer’s but his condition has deteriorated. He has been unwell following a fall and has spent some weeks in hospital. He’s now in a nursing home as his needs have changed. His speech has been affected, he’s doubly incontinent and he has poor mobility. I’m trying to accept that he won’t be coming home and will have to be in full time care. Luckily it is local and I can visit every day. Our home seems so empty without him. I’m finding it hard. I’ve often turned to this forum for advice & wondered if others have found this transition hard. I’ve always known the day would come, but it feels raw & hard to understand at the moment. I’m not sleeping & feel quite low.
