Hello, I can feel, understand and relate as l am my husband's (advanced metastatic prostate cancer) sole caregiver too. I am retired so at least l am home with him. We have neither family nor friends nor kind neighbors who'll give a hand with anything. It's just me. Several people promised the world but we never heard back from them. I wish someone would just call and say "put the coffee on, l'm coming over with some muffins" or whatever but it's ZILCH, ZERO, NADA, NIENTE😬

I’m managing through the early stages of dementia with my husband. He’s a progressively worsening handful. I think I know how you must be feeling. I keep saying I could use ten good people to help out around the house but no one shows up here either. I’m so sorry you are feeling alone. If we were neighbors, I’d be right over with a fresh baked banana bread. Hope this message gives you some uplifting. Breathe for a moment, take an Epsom salt bath with lavender and try to go to bed early. Crack a window at night and listen to the rain or the night birds. This will bring you some peace.
