I am relatively new at caregiving, 3 yrs in. I totally relate to your feelings of frustration, anger not at him, but of our situation. My husband has very severe back pain as well as Parkinson’s. Cognitive issues are appearing every day now. He’s just so needy and I work so hard to keep him comfortable, nutrition, med schedules, and doing the activities he enjoys. He is processing things very slowly and I know I need to give him more time to respond and initiate movement. I’m trying to give myself some forgiveness in my frustration about trying to have a normal life. I know he didn’t sign up for this and I didn’t either so I need help in accepting how this life is going to move forward without resentment and loss of hope.
