Dealing with a Spouse with a “Mild Cognitive Impairment”

@judimahoney , for me it helps to hug friends and family. Accept any friendly touch offered by others. I know, it’s not the same as the touch from your special person, but it helps. Receiving no physical touch for weeks is devastating to the soul.
Hug your dog.

Yes, our dog is one of my only sources of touch. She puts up with me most times, and instinctively comes to me when I'm upset. She's become my therapy dog.
