Thank you for sharing your story with me. I’m so sorry to hear his condtion was confirmed to be Alzheimer’s . It’s something that certainly is in the back of all of our minds when the uncertainty of an MCI diagnosis is given.

It certainly sounds like you have given careful thought to your situation and options & have with the help of your therapist arrived at a plan you can move forward with.

When I was looking for a support group for MCI, it seemed they were few & far between. It seems there are more Alzheimer’s support groups around. I would definitely encourage you to check out your options. I can emphasize enough how helpful the responses from the people on this site have been to me. I feel like I’ve been given a new lease on life just being able to have a discourse with people in situations similar to mine. It’s so hard when you feel you have no one but your therapist to talk to. Getting feedback from others has been tremendously helpful. I’m so appreciative of everyone who has taken the time to write. Another thing that has been helpful for me is journaling. I sometimes share what I have written with my therapist. That too sometimes helps to seek clarity.

I still have unresolved issues I’m working on. We’ve been married for 52 years but not all has been bliss so I’m finding there are unresolved issues that also act as blocks for me & what I feel willing to do. It’s complicated. I’m so thankful for my counselor.

Thanks again for writing. I’m sorry it was confirmed that it’s AD you are dealing with. I would encourage you to contact the Alzheimer’s Association. I understand they have a lot of resources available. I wish you the best as you move forward.
