@rutgersmom123 Yes, I get it - especially the "lonely" part. I should have paid more attention to those wedding vows 53 years ago!! In sickness and in health, for richer or poorer - O my gosh, what was I thinking????.... I too am seeking out support groups & counseling while taking care of EVERYTHING else. They say this cognitive decline stuff is like a slow goodbye, a death and so we go through those phases of loss while the person is still alive physically. I am barely at the "acceptance" phase now and thankful that the "denial" and "angry" phase are behind me. Bless all of us who are dealing with this very sad disease. 🙏
