Sorry to hear that you and your husband are beginning the journey that's familiar to those of us who post on this forum. Hope you find the posts by @labrown, @kjc48, and @judimahoney helpful.

It's difficult to maintain our own health as caregivers, and to avoid becoming impatient and/or resentful at times (especially when one is sleep-deprived). Glad to see that you have included self-care in your daily routine. ...and as Karla stated: "One day at a time. Ask God for his help."
All the best,
George's Wife

@georgescraftjr I'm printing off your Healthline post. Thank you for that valuable share. As you know, along with every other caregiver, it's amazing how up and down this is on any given day, but for me, one of the BIGGEST things on that Healthline list, is getting a decent night's sleep. I've also been trying to take more walks through the day, even though shorter ones, but it's helping. It's not coincidental that you would call out our "One day at a time. Ask God for his help" as when I got up this morning that's the first thing I read from an earlier post. Thank you for reminding me that we are not alone. I needed that today.....Best, Karla
