My husband cannot quit sorting through and moving his personal things.

My husband goes into the pantry looking through things, it’s mostly food items. I do sort of follow him but just a turn of my head, to see what he’s up to. Or he’ll be outdoors and move things around out there. I was annoyed, but I then I figured I can take care of those things another day. It’s these things that they seem to enjoy doing so I’m just going to let it go, I’ll just make sure he’s safe.

@susanpremo I'm happy to hear how you are handling these things. I had to learn patience with these things and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. My attitude towards my hubby "reorganizing" or moving things around , etc., was that as long as he wasn't hurting anyone or himself it wasn't that big of a deal. My hubby lost interest in a lot of things as the years moved on and he didn't have the same joy on his face as he did before dementia took over, so if all this made him happy, I let him have those moments. 🙂
