Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”
My husband was diagnosed with MCI in 2019. He is pretty independent, just forgetful of time, dates, location of places, anything electronic & events from our life together (we’ve been married 52 years). It’s all just getting to me. I find myself wanting to be alone so I’m not continuously reminded of these changes. Because my friends/family are out of state, working, or involved with their own families, I really have no one to talk to so I’m seeing a therapist twice a week to deal with the sadness, anger, grief I have over his condition. I just wonder if other women find themselves in this position & how they are dealing with it.

Seems like being married over 50 years is a common thread here…my wife has been diagnosed with Mild dementia and subsequently Alzheimer’s confirmed and we have the opportunity to start the donanemab infusion therapy. Would appreciate feedback from anyone whose spouse has had or is currently receiving this treatment..big decision we have to make soon
Thanks
