8 years, made especially challenging by the paranoia. Did you check with the doctor re anti psychotic meds? Loneliness. I tried out a half dozen on-line support groups and have winnowed it down to two. One is the Phoenix Mayo clinic Caring for the Caregiver on Thurs afternoon. The other is also from Mayo in Phoenix. I have learned to meditate. My husband and I walk a few miles when the weather is nice. Would your husband do that, either with or without you? Btw, we were never walkers. Do you have a Memory Cafe where you live? It's a social opportunity for both the caregiver and the person with cognitive issues. I wish you continued strength.
