Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

Hello, and first off so very sorry about your accident. I hope you are not injured or sore.
I am responding because of your hugging comment. My husband's brother died in July, no tears from him and hardly a reaction. I asked him if he wanted a hug after we found out, and he said no. I guess I needed a hug after losing my Bro in law, but there is no hugging or touching anymore and I too long for his comforting arms around me. That lack of intimacy is one of the worst parts of dementia.
Happy New Year anyway.

@judimahoney - we are fine from the wreck and thank you for asking. It is comforting to know that not wanting a hug can be a part of this horrible disease therefore I will not take it personally. I feel badly that you are experiencing the same.
You share a lot of worldly wisdom and I thank you.
