I have conversations all the time with my husband. He is aware of his situation and not happy about it, His father and brother went thru this. I am his source of comfort and letting him know we will get through this. We have no children to help with this. He actually bought me a Valentines Day card saying he can't find his keys .. how much I support him. We actually laugh about his memory. Hugs to anyone going thru this

I want to comfort my husband and reassure him, but he doesn't realize why he needs comforting. Still, kindness and patience are the best we've got to offer. Kindness is easy, patience is a bit harder I find.
