Hi and welcome to neurotalk Jean
This particular forum has little activity, unless you count the news bot lol. I rarely check in. I am however always available if you wish to talk. Just IM me
It is a horrible disease, and so very hard to witness.
I belong to an online support group for spouses only. The issues in dealing with Alzheimer's in your spouse is unique and different than caring for a parent or grandparent etc, the founder of the site realized this and created a safe haven for us. Please do come join us

My heartfelt sympathy for all you are going through, and will experience.
Know that you are not alone. Thinking of you, Nikki

It is a very lonely life and thank goodness for my internet!!! Jean.
