What is brain fog like? How can I better understand as a caregiver?

It’s when you feel like 100 lb weight is sitting on your brain . You feel dizzy , lightheaded, off balance at times . Mine comes from deep grief after losing my husband of 23 years suddenly 6/2/25. Depression brings it on too. Losing your best friend in the world , your whole life and being alone at 63 has been horrendous.
Sometimes meds can cause heavy brain fog too I found out .
Insomnia causes it too .
It’s a hard thing to live with. All of it .

@rozy288 We have been together since we were 16 and 17 (currently 65 and 66). I don't know what you are going through, but I can only imagine and I am so sorry. You mentioning dizzy, lightheaded, off balance helps as those are some of the things that my partner has mentioned. It has helped me to know there are others feeling the same things.
