Support for caregivers: I feel helpless not being able to fix things

I can relate. Every time I think I found something my husband can taste or take a small bite , it goes out the window. He gets frustrated and angry and asked to be left alone. He reminds me that he is trying and do want to eat , but I don’t understand. It breaks my heart hearing him saying these words because I know he feels like he is alone. I try not to cry in front of him, but sometimes it cannot be helped .
My prayers goes to all of us that are in this same journey.

I completely understand since I face the same situation. I am constantly going to the market every time my husband has a taste of something. I drive to the grocery store at least twice a day. But sometimes I am not successful. It’s makes me feel like a failure . But the good news I have been more successful than failure. However, he is still not gaining weight . My husband is pure bones and I tried to see him pass his weight because I just cry. All I see is he is disappearing in front of me.

My husband is much the same. He gets angry with me when I try to get him to eat something. He says he is doing the best he can...I know he is. It is so hard to watch someone that was so strong fall to this horrible disease. Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers. Keep positive...
