@slarson14 I saw your note, and wonder if he's a veteran, does he get additional support - that might apply to my husband?

@kjc48 the VA has a wonderful caregiver program, not only do they teach you ways to handle your situation, they also have a support system and live classes you can take over your computer just for you, I’m currently taking art journaling which you can be creative and learn at the same time. I’m about to start wellness through qigong. If approved you can also get help with time away for a break or appointments.
@kjc48 My husband and I are both veterans; they have good support network, and depending on the Veteran's service time and other factors, he may be eligible for some and or everything.
@kjc48 Yes he is a veteran,we do get support from the VA

Yes, the VA will provide support for family caregivers of veterans. Contact the VA to see if you qualify. I'm a veteran, but because my wife was not, there was no support for me as the caregiver - however, if I had been the patient my wife would have qualified for some support from the VA.
