I felt like I wrote this, my heart goes out to you. This is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through and we’re only in the beginning of this.

thanks everyone for the hugs, it’s great to not feel so alone!
Talk to me anytime. Anyone on this site can. I will be kind and will not mislead you. My heart and mind hear and see your angst. I feel for the ones who have this horrible disease and sometimes I am thankful that you share. It let's me know I really am not alone. Prayers, love and hugs to each of you!❣️❣️

Believe me..I get it! They get meaner, more needy( not their fault) . You do everything and no one bothers to check if you are ok. I have 2 people in my life who do. My BFF and my son. So many have no clue on your angst and despair. Your loneliness and your overwhelming feeling to go on a vacation just for a day. It is hard..I just ate a 1/2 pint of ice cream. Lol. My pleasure for the day! Keep writing. I will respond. I am probably older than you ..but life experiences are with me. Ask me anything or share what u feel comfortable with. I wish I could go back to my life as it used to be. Work, play and raising kid's. Vacation with my spouse. We went to so many fun places. I have learned that life can throw you a curveball. My spouse's brother is his only living sibling and he has dementia. My spouse is the youngest of six. He gets so sad about the past instead of living in the moment!!! I say live, love and cry when needed my new friend.
