My husband was diagnosed in January but has been confused for some time before his diagnosis. He is getting worse and can no longer read or write and cannot hold any conversation. Every day some new problem seems to arise. I am struggling because I am so utterly upset and depressed about him and it is making me bad tempered and very impatient which I hate myself for. Do other people feel the same emotions? We have been married for 53 years and I am just overwhelmed with grief for him and the way we were. Last week on our anniversary he gave me a card which said " Happy Birthday Granny! " which really broke my heart as I know he tried but it caused terrific upset . Where am I going wrong? I have always been a worrier and an emotional person but this situation is breaking me. Can someone offer advice as to how I curb my emotions.
