Is there a discussion group specifically for spouses who lost their partner to Alz? I can't locate one. - Jon

    You might try in the Caring for a spouse/partner, they may have an idea, or that could be a group too.

    I haven't seen one, but if you find one, please let me know! Seems there is not a lot posted here. :(

    @eggharbor42 This is basically that discussion group. Most of the people who post here were caregiver spouses. It’s just not utilized that often. Some of the widows/ widowers post about their new stage of life on the other forums because they get more responses there.
