Thank you for kind words. I do need lots of hugs and I get them from my family but I try not show my feelings how scared of what’s ahead of me. It doesn’t seem an easy solution 🙏😢

I do hope you can decide to share your fears with someone. Choose someone you can trust completely. It can relieve so much stress. God Bless.

@rosy54 With a big hug, I just want to say that you’ll always be the person that you currently are. You’ll probably become forgetful, but you’ll still be you! Have you had a chance to sit down with family members to talk about the diagnosis? They need to know that you are scared and that eventually you’ll need help. Enlist their help now.
Now is the time to make your plans for your future.
Do you live alone?
Can you manage the house and repairs?
Will you need assisted living?
Call the Senior center in your area to see if they have groups that discuss all the changes
The more prepared you are, the better you will be able to face whatever comes.
I know you are scared so I’m giving you an extra big hug! H U G!!!!
