Say something? Say nothing? looking for advice.

While probably not for everyone, very early on, my wife's neurologist said to us "Remember her brain is now 'broken'. Logic will no longer work and anger, most often, will make situations worse."

Acceptance of this was hard but incredibly helpful for our family.

Strength, Courage, & Peace

Thank you, Scott…part of me thought maybe he needs to be aware, so we can discuss and plan…but then I felt so bad. (Still a diagnosis of MCI)

And I wasn’t angry, nor was he…but he did get very quiet. 😢

Very much appreciate your comments!!
