I have been looking for a support group chat that can help me understand what my 60 year old husband is going through. My heart aches for him. We've been married 40 years and all of our future plans have been crushed due to this disease. I had to retire early to stay home and care for him. I also have my 82 year old mother with dementia and I have to relive my daddy's death over and over because she believes he is still alive. Anyone that knows what I am feeling please reach out to me. Anyone in my shoes, please tell me some days will be easier. I'm broken.
