About Bill and his life changing with caring for his wife: This is what I am deathly afraid of - that I will become invisible even to myself. I don't think my husband would want that either. Bill's story makes me look at my situation with new eyes so thank you, Bill for sharing and God Bless you and your lovely wife.

In regards to becoming invisible to yourself: this is a huge topic for all of us caregivers. It is a psychological dilemma, the loss of self.
I am in a 2-day grief class. Yesterday the facilitator mentioned that there is a death of our pre-grief self that readies us for becoming a new 'us'.
So, I shall try and embrace this concept, since I do feel my personality has changed since my husband's FTD diagnosis.
We are becoming new people!
All the best. 🌺
