my wife has got to the stage where she now doesn’t recognise me as her husband. This happened a week ago. Im a very nice friend but she says to me ‘so where do you live’ and the loss of her feelings for me as her husband is breaking my heart. She expects him to turn up, looks out for him, checked the sheds for him and today searched around the streets. What must be going through her mind I can’t imagine. She is so confused. My thought is this...does she feel or experience the grief we would feel at the loss of a loved one? Is the short term memory loss stopping her from remembering her grief from yesterday. Even though I’m grieving myself it must be terribly sad in her mind that her loving husband isn’t around, why has he left me, when’s he coming back. And there nothing I or anyone can do about it. This thinking about it , because I still love my wife to bits, is making me very unhappy. The thought that she is longing for her husband (me) must be so cruel
