@gloro My answer, to your question of how will I find this discussion again, will bring you right back to this page. The answers that you provided previously were just great so keep staying withMCC and you’ll make more friends!
Do you have any help that comes in to your house? Any close friends? Any relatives? Any ways to get out of the house more often?
I’m also going to ask @lbrockme if she has any suggestions to tips that may be of help to you.
I do want to say that I can tell that you’re a strong and loving and caring woman. Just do your best. That’s all that’s asked of you!

What a wonderful focus you have in addressing and solving your household challenges. Dementia is so very hard. It can be very stressful ... and frankly full of grief for all that's changed.
You say you are connected to your senior center, perhaps they can help you connect to respite services. Just even a few hours a week , where you can focus on you and meeting your needs can be such a relief.
I'm hoping you are connected to someone you can talk honestly with , about your daily challenges. Just speaking about it can reduce your stress. You seem to have such a great focus on solving
your problems as they come up.
I love that you write. That's been such a release for me as well.
Have you ever considered publishing anything?
Keeping you in my prayers!
