I am so sorry that you are going through this thru this, I know it’s not uncommon, have heard many situations like this. I use to be a sitter for people that needed care like this. It is very taxing on the family. I would suggest you get support thru your doctors ( hers & your own ) personally if they are different. They should be able to give you guidance as to what to do. Have a doctor visit by your self. Then, seek out some counseling & a support group for Ailhimers ? & go to the group meetings. You are not alone, so many people are in the same situation you are in. I admire you for your dedication to her. Remember there is help, don’t give up in reaching out for help. God bless you & your family. Let us know how things are progressing.

I have attended one Support group through the Alzheimer's Association. It is led by volunteers. I missed the second meeting because , as a first timer, I could not take in all the information. I will say that everyone's Alzheimer's experience is different and so is every Caregiver's. We do share the physical and emotional and social burdens. No more time, or little time for ourselves as we attend to the needs of our partner. The fear of what lies ahead and the need to plan while exhausted. Trying to find the appropriate medical resources. Taking each moment as a gift but always facing the unexpected.
