My husband of 52 years has Lewy Body Dementia. We moved to a Continuing Care Retirement Community six years ago as an independent couple. He was with me until a year ago when he moved to Assisted Living. I told him I needed help with his care. The worst of the move was the loss for both of us. Even though I visited him every day it took about four months to adjust to the separation. This past December I moved him to nursing care. I guess I just want you to be prepared for the emotional loss that you will feel even though it will also be a relief.

Thank you. This makes sense but I wouldn't have thought of it.
