My husband of 30 years has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer and COPD, and the onset of Dementia. I am sure this journey will be a difficult one but I just hope and pray that God will help me along this difficult road. I feel blessed to have found this site as I am sure it will be of great help to me, and maybe I can also help others along this path.

Hello @afotoart I'm sorry to read of your husband's health issues. I am pleased to see you found Connect here.

I was my wife's caregiver for 14+ years and can say Connect was a big help to us. I also agree you are right that the caregiving journey can be a challenging one at times. There are several threads here in the Caregivers group offering hints, tips, and explanations. Also, we have a group on caregiving for dementia patients at this link https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers-dementia/ It will be wonderful having more input from more caregivers.

How long has your husband been diagnosed? I hope you are doing OK -- it's never easy and rarely simple.

Strength, courage, & Peace
