@kjc48 Yes, there is loneliness. I am thankful for the present, when we are together, even though, she is somewhat distant. I think that she too, is lonely and scared, and it breaks my heart, when I take a few steps in her shoes. We play Super Scrabble, she is still a very good wordsmith. This has been a journey of almost ten years, as it was apparent to me that she was having cognitive issues, quite a while ago. It's one day at a time.

@n82821 PS, ten years gives me hope. Hope that comes from you being able to still play Super Scrabble together and that she is still a "very good wordsmith." Hope to face each day, and hope that our spouses aren't lonely and scared with us by their sides. Always. Best, Karla

@n82821 Oh Tom, I hear you and I am thankful for the present too. Somewhat distant is still better when you can sit down together and play Super Scrabble. I'll have to try that with my husband. Thank you for your share. Best, Karla
