My husband and I have been together for 60 years. I would think that I would count as someone from his past, but no. The long-term spouse seems to be the one cut from the memory bank. I am just a caretaker now; he is confused as to who I am and why I would behere.He even questions why I am in all his photos from the past. It is one of the cruelest aspects of having a loved one with ALZ.

My husband not recognizing me at times is the most painful part of this terrible disease.
We will look at old photos, and he will say, "That's Trisha," but you're not Trisha!!!

My wife of 55 years has asked me multiple times: where is my husband? are you my husband? am I home? it's tough to hear. Sorry
