Right now I am in a bad place and really struggling. The kind words and support I have received from all of you is like a small candle in the dark. Thank you all.

@rozalia I send you strength and support from afar. The roller coaster times of caregiving are especially challenging and often the smoother segments seem to be too far apart. One technique I used in the darker times was to hum (I can't sing) my wife's favorite song. It often made her smile, soothe her, and put me, momentarily af least, in a nicer place.

HANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION,ONE GOOD THING ABOUT ALZ. THEY FORGET WHAT HAPPENED SO I DON,T FEEL BAD ABOUT MY REACTIONS FOR LONG.AND ITS,S EASIER TO GET BACK INTO THE LIGHT FROM THE DARK PLACES.

I am really sorry to hear you are struggling. This forum has given me<br>hope and has made me feel I can get answers, but the health issues don't<br>disappear in a day. Hang in there. Look for something to make you<br>smile. Best, Kathryn<br>
