I’m grateful to find this group. My husbands sounds the same. I’ve been anxious and weepy dealing with this. Hoping here will be a safe place to talk.

Hello Pam,
It is a safe place. I would feel like I was missing support from other's that care and understands. My husband has Parkinsons plus alot of other conditions as a result of age and his diagnosis. It is hard to be a caregiver. We are not perfect and can share that if we so choose. Welcome and hugs to you and your family.💞💞

@pam4kids I am so sorry that you are feeling anxious and sad. I feel much the same way at times, especially if I don't get a good night's sleep or if I am over-thinking about the future. It makes me feel so vulnerable to admit that. Thanks for reaching out to this chat and opening up. You are not alone...
