The Caregivers' Guilt Dumpster - Open for business

Anyone else feeling lost even though your partner is still here? My wife of 50+years is starting her 15yr with this disease and even though most days she doesn’t know me, I still have her in our house (except for 3 days when she is in day care). And I hope to keep her with me forever. However I feel lost most of the time. I know I should feel lucky to have her (and I do) but I just feel so alone. Sorry for this but it is the “guilt dumpster “. Thanks for listening

@tunared I have found from this group there are many of us who lose our loved ones of many years, before they leave this earth. I think each of us feel alone, each situation has differences and similarities. I have been married 50+ years also and this is not how I pictured this phase of my life. I'm glad you have day care. It took me a while to to hire help 1-2 days a week. No one can give him the care I can, but if I don't get help I won't be able to do it either. We're hanging in there with ya!
