So sorry you are going through this. I agree with several others, early diagnosis helps to rule out other issues that could be showing up as dementia.

As far as the emotions, they are tough, real and valid. All of them. It helps being able to share - helps you to express and helps others. You are not alone.

Hoping you are able to find just the right window to talk to your husband when he is most receptive.

Thank you for your reply, it was a breath of relief to hear from several people on the forum, and to feel like I am not alone. I think getting into the dr. early is the clear message, the challenge will be how to do that as he thinks he has no memory problems. He does not remember what he forgets! Finding the right window will be important and I feel I need just a short time to get a bit more of a measure on this so we have a few more examples to base it on. But yes, it feels pressing to start trying to find the reasons for these changes. Thank you for the support and wise words, J.
