in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

Forum mates, I'm sharing here with fellow spouse/partner caregivers in case you aren't also in the other forum.

It is a tough realization today that observed progression is undeniable and this stepdown feels especially ominous. Just sharing because it may help someone else, and because you all are the only ones who will understand my feelings at this moment. Hoping your day is better than ours.
