I’m sorry to hear what you had to go through. What a blessing you were to your wife.you are correct life is not fair. As a Rabbi wrote in his book “When Bad Things Happen to Good People”, there is no one above sprinkling fairness dust on us all, or something to that effect. I always try to keep that in mind. The minister who married us is cared for & lost a wife to brain cancer & talked to us about that. He said being a minister did not protect him or his wife from these things that happen & talked to us about prayer. At the time we felt bad for him but it didn’t really sink in at the time. Thanks again for sharing your story.

I have a similar situation, though no actual diagnosis besides short term memory loss and definite mood changes. We have been happily married for 55 years, so I really empathize with your feelings of loss, sadness and grief as you realize things are changing. The hardest part for me is not knowing what to expect for the future. I also went to a therapist and that helped me a lot. Sending you my caring thoughts for you.
