I can so sympathise with you.My household is a busy one.My daughter, along with her husband, 12 yr old stepson, their 3 year old and 4 month old baby live with us, to help me with MH.We have 3 dogs between us and 8 chickens.I have lots of supportive family and friends. In the midst of it all, I feel excrutiatingly lonely. MH is either asleep or shuffling around the house.I miss him so much. No one can replace the void I feel in my heart, for him and our previous life that we shared. He is only 65, I am just 60. AD was diagnosed only 4 years ago. The deterioration has been rapid. He can no longer articulate.He doesn't understand when I try to converse with him and just seems to confuse him, so it is now just inane chatter that I spout!! I even find it hard to remember how he spoke, what his voice sounded like. Yes, innthe midst of the business around me, I feel very sad and lonely.Hugs to you.
