My husband and I have been married for 40 years. He has Alzheimer's Disease. Late stage. I'm his full-time caregiver. I'm fortunate to have a social worker on our medical team, and to be a member of an online dementia support group. Still, there are potholes in the emotional road we're traveling.
This episode shares respected data, personal stories, real mistakes I made, and three rituals I created to help me cope.
If you are caring for a spouse with Alzheimer's or other form of dementia, this episode might help you navigate this painful path.
