@katrina123 this must be such a difficult time for you. I included a link to Mayo Clinic’s information on Alzheimer’s disease. It talks about the various changes a person with Alzheimer’s goes through. My thought, also is, that even though persons with AD don’t that something is wrong with themselves, they may pick it up from others. Thus, when your husband wants to kiss you and feels that you’ve been gone, he’s really saying thank you for being here and helping me. (Just my most unprofessional suggestion)

Are there other symptoms of your husband’s that bother you?

Becky...Thanks you for the link. Yes, I understand that this gives him comfort in what is now a very confusing world for him.
Yes, this is a very difficult time for me especially after just being notified that my breast MRI came back a Birads 4 - suspicious for cancer. It has been less than 4 years since I had a lumpectomy for a rare cancer. I have a rare immune disease, so I have had an imaging every 3 or 4 months for the last 4 years.
If I do have cancer it is going to be very complicated since my husband can no longer drive and he is not capable of fixing meals.
