in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

I wanted to post something positive for a change. 🙂 Today was one of those days with my DH where I say to myself “I can take care of him, no problem”. He was a little bit confused and quiet when he first got up, but was in a good mood all day, no outbursts of anger, only a quick little mention of going “home”, easy to redirect. These days are precious and few, especially in Stage 6. Hope your day was a good one, too!

    That is great news! I too can recognize a good day (or a good five minutes!) in new ways since this caregiving journey began. Thank you for sharing with us.
