Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

I also understand having not many relatives nearby. We have one son who lives on the west coast & I have a brother in the southwest west. He has a brother here but I don’t think he is aware of the extent of the impairment. He also has a cousin who lost her mom (his aunt) to AD so she is aware of the struggles & I keep in touch with her.

I know this an old discussion but your situation is just like mine. My husband has always been a wonderful spouse and is still a caring husband. I am struggling so much. I miss our relationship. He has few memories of our life together. He is still independent but needs help with anything IT related. He also relies on navigation to get him to places he has been many times. I am struggling with my new reality. I have many friends but I try to cover for him and don’t know how to handle our social circle. Do you share you situation with friends? How do you handle social gatherings. He has always been on the quiet side but now he struggles to have conversations. Any thoughts. I feel like I need to discuss this with someone. I am totally stressed trying to hide it from our friends.
