Sending virtual hugs. So sorry you are dealing with this so young.

Every negative adjective and bad word you can think of, it’s so so horrible and unfair and your DH is so young. I cry and weep for you. It stinks!

so very sorry; I am glad you are able to “scream” here. It truly is tragic at 45 years old.

I understand the question and the scream. As I look back on my life experiences, every time I screamed why, there was no answer. In my experience, life’s health changes are mostly random. Of course, some health crises can be linked to unhealthy habits. We know that substance abuse, tobacco use and obesity increase risks but there are those people who even defy those risks.
But these devastating diseases like Alzheimer’s, many cancers, immune disorders etc. seem random. Maybe someday we will have broken the codes to causation but for now we do not know why nor can we control them.
Life is random. Bad things happening to good people is random. At least that is the way I have to look at it or I would never be able to stop screaming.

Hang in there MarDel0917, I understand my DW turned 49 a few days ago and we are moving quickly through stage 4. No chance to plan, no retirement, no center or established help for the non aged. As everyone has said this disease has no mercy. Prayers to and for you and yours.

While there is no answer to why, I think screaming in the shower helps momentarily.
You have to move on to what do I do, who do I contact for help, what do I need to know and where do I go to learn how to be a caregiver for this disease.
We here understand what yu are facing and will be here 24/7/365 to listen and to share…We care about you!

Go ahead and scream, shout and vent, whatever you need…we understand, and most have been there. This is a safe place. Hugs…

I have never figured out the why when bad things happen to good people. Eventually I end up reminding myself ‘well, why not me- if it can happen to others, then It can happen to me). Then as jfkoc wrote, you have to get busy dealing with it. There’s a post here somewhere … ‘The Calvary is Not Coming’ that expresses the fact that ‘tag, we are it’.
I don’t mean all that in a flippant way… accepting the reality is the first step to getting through it and we are here to support you every day. Multiple times a day when you need it

It’s a horrific disease . Scream and rant all you want if it makes you feel better. I do that all the time and constantly ask …. WHY , WHY …
