Delusions of an affair

My husband began to weep uncontrollably because of thinking someone had died over and over again. Acknowledging that he felt that way and that the person was okay helped a lot. But it happened time after time. Getting some medication helped and he doesn't have those hallucinations anymore. Leah

    How sad that must have been; you did the absolute right thing . . . you obtained relief for your Loved One. They cannot do that for themselves and must depend upon us to help them, it is about the very quality of life for our Loved Ones. Thank you for sharing.
