Feeling sad(1)

Bunny whisperer

I havent been on for a long time, but Ive been feeling sad and frustrated. My husband is in the 6th stage of Alzheimers and doesnt know who I am to him or how he knows our kids. He has so much trouble trying to tell me anything and usually cant get it out, except to tell me "he wont be around much longer". Not sure how to react to those words. I also get frustrated when well meaning friends tell you how you should deal with everything. Sorry just needed to vent

I’m very sorry. Glad you were able to come here.

I am so sad for you but this is the place to share and vent. I am sure there are others who are in your position..my husband is not there yet but I get sad too with each little loss. Sending prayers!

Bunny whisperer - I'm sorry for what you're going through. I think that's why we all land here. Some of my lowest points led me here and now I know that when things get rough or I just don't understand, come here to find answers and some truly caring people. It's like having a really good family, only you're not related to them other than through this journey we're all on together.  It blew my mind when I first came onto this site and realized how many people are going through the same thing at the same time, very humbling. Sending prayers and hugs.

Bunny Whisperer: My heart goes out to you. I know the loneliness and frustration. I wish I could offer some suggestions for comfort, but I am rather lost. One moment and a day at a time. Hard to do I know. The worst thing about this disease is it gets worse not better. I am convinced anyone not caring for someone with this does not have a clue on what it is like or the toll it takes on you. I do. I will pray for you in my many prayers for guidance daily. You are not alone. I know it feels that way as I feel it also, all the time. Crying helps me for a short time and I cry frequently. My doctor says that is not healthy, but it works for me. A relief valve. Bless you.
