I’m a caregiver to my wife and we learned that replacing “I’m sorry” with “Thank you” changed the dynamics for both of us.

thats wonderful thats all you both need to hear form each other. no since in being sorry or guilty we will all age and get there ourselves. she is lucky to have you and you are lucky to have her. prayers and blessings to you both

Recently I started giving my husband a quiet, peaceful hug each day as I I dress him. It has had an unspoken impact on both of us.

I show my husband a lot of love. Lots of thank you's. It's hard to stand but I always try to make good meals to come home to. I try to do what I can, he's very tired. He was always loving until I got this disease and he gradually changed. After reading the posts, no more saying I'm sorry. I still have my sense of humor. I text him loving things during the day. He does say thank you.
