Hello
@Daisy1950 - welcome! You are right, it is lonely, frustrating and difficult!
My OH was only diagnosed in January and we were just getting things in place for him to attend activities to help him to socialise more, when we went into lockdown. Unlike your OH, mine is not contented. He is very depressed and is regularly saying that he has had enough and just wants to die. The Doctor has said that he has every right to feel depressed as the life he had planned has been taken away from him but as you say, what about our plans?
I had just taken voluntary redundancy and early retirement (I'm only 57 and my husband is 79). We have a touring caravan and the plan was for me to get a part time job and for us to have lots of weekend breaks in our van. Although I am able to tow the caravan, due to my OH having mobility issues and liable to fall, getting in and out of a caravan would be unsuitable for him so it's going to have to go as soon as lockdown allows.
I am working part time and to be honest, I look forward to going to work to get away from him but am frightened that as his mobility issues get worse I may have to give this up to care for him 24/7. I'm really not sure that I could cope with that.
Joining this forum has been good for me to get advice from people who are in exactly the same position and a good place to sound off when I have had a bad day.
