@elsmore i feel like I'm reading my story. I am going thru or have gone thru most of what you have mentioned, I am worn out too but i just keep trying to hang on but it's hard. I just keep reminding myself that this is not my husband, but the awful disease but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with,
I pray for all us caregivers!!!
@elsmore do you have a support group? Can you afford respite? Have you considered a hospice evaluation? My mother qualified for hospice and had those services for 3 years, off and on. We got an aide 5 days a week, a nurse, social worker, volunteer, and chaplain. Too many people think hospice is for imminent death! Hospices vary on who qualifies but it is worth a try.
