"I feel so alone and even though I attend a support group, the feelings of loss, anger and love make my head spin."
"It is hard for me to articulate my feelings of confusion and it seems like a betrayal to the man I have loved so deeply for over 50 years."
Being a spouse, wife or husband of someone with a dementia is a trial, not just a journey. The well spouse often feels guilty for their honest feelings -- this journey of love and care needs a "professional" guide. It would be a gift to both the well spouse and the person in need of care to consult with a Professional Geriatric Care Manager at least once a month or every 6 weeks.
i am not the spouse,im the daughter.and it is very hard specialy for me i have mom a mentaly challenged brother and three kids two with special needs i cant work and i have no income they think we survive ez this way.anyway,,is a drain on the caregiver speacialy when there is no support
