    beautiful and really captures what is happening for me and my DH. I’m more and more feeling alone even when he is with me. I love him and have such a mix of protecting and caring for him at the same time as grief that he cannot see. My love is deeper even as the man know disappears more every day. Trying so hard to enjoy the moments that are still glimmers of who he was, although they are mostly gone amd he is a new person that im struggling to care for daily.
