@teal8 I feel for you. Anxiety is the word for you and me and our person. It is important to have lots of support and yes I’m in two support groups, have lots of friends and family and moved to the same CCRC as my husband. Do all I can to stay standing when often I want to melt in a ball and cry. This is so hard. And I wish I could help him through his hard parts.
When he wants to express his fears, all I can do is listen as he tries to communicate and give him a hug and kiss and let him know I am listening.
Is your husband still home with you and do you have support?
We are in the later stages.
I wish I could help you.

@maryvc thank you Mary. I appreciate your kind words. We are in the early stages. My husband is 67 and has not been formerly diagnosed which is so frustrating and challenging. His siblings and son don’t know. They don’t see him often and I haven’t shared because we don’t have a formal diagnosis. I have great kids, friends and a wonderful therapist. Taking it all one day at a time right now. It’s so hard to plan anything. And I’m a planner 😳😉
I’m glad you have support systems. You have helped me by reaching out. I hope today is a good day for you. Sending strength and hugs. 🤗
