I agree with the other posts, what purpose does it serve to talk about what lies ahead? What will be, will be!! My husband was diagnosed in 2016, and we didn’t
really discuss it too much. We just said we’d cross the bridges when we came to them. The first year went by with very little change except his memory letting him down, and he was aware of it and frustrated by it. I decided not to read too much about the condition as I found it fairly depressing and scary. From 2018 on, things have gradually worsened to the stage that he doesn’t know me, doesn’t know where we are, and basically lives in a little bubble where I do most things for him and he wanders about in another world. But he doesn’t know, and that’s the point. If he had known what was coming, it would have upset him, worried him and to what avail? It’s a horrible existence for me, I hate seeing him like this, and I know he would not want to be like this. But we can’t do anything about it, except make him as comfortable and content as I can. Try to go with the flow, however difficult that may be for you. I used to be a control freak, now I can’t control my way out of a paper bag, just live from day to day.
