Husband With Slow Cognitive Decline: So sad & confused

Sometimes i do have to yell at him. He will act like he hears and understands what i am saying but i find out, later either he didn't hear, understand or remember but at the time agrees with me. Some days better than others, and i know it will not go away. So thank you Mayo and caretakers for sharing.

Yelling doesn’t help; I have been living with dementia for 5 to 6 years and when people don’t understand how we react sets us back. I always tell my wife, doctors, and friends I understand or I am good as my dementia causes me to not have conflict. Communication is the hardest part of dementia for me and when someone confronts a fact I withdraw even farther away.
