    Hello khendrickson33! thanks for reaching out. Our situations are similar. I'm sorry for all the stress and fear that both of us are facing. I have so many concerns and worries that it's impossible to rank them! One of my biggest concerns is how I will manage to work while also being a caregiver :-/ ?!…also, how do I avoid spending the money that is meant for retirement and for my children on memory care centers (we are not wealthy)?! yikes. I'm wishing you peace and I will hope to reconnect in the forum.

    take care!

    Molly
