@IndianaScott . Isolating very true! That is how we are at this point. I cannot understand when my husband tries to speak. Frustrating for him as well. No help ffrom physicians, etc; just patience and praying to be able to figure it out. Just found out that Primary Progressive Aphasia is a rare disease when not caused by stroke. At my wits end. So depressed, getting therapy....and praying for strength to get through each day. Thanks for your thoughts.

@dianajane - it must be heartbreaking not to be able to understand his words. My husband struggles with words, but he usually gets them out in one form or another. Can your husband write his thoughts? Curious whether you and your husband have been through the HABIT program at Mayo ? It's specifically for people with Mild Cognitive Impairment and their partners. It was a godsend to us. My heart is going out to both of you.
