"part of me feels I need to protect this poor lost soul. The infant trapped in this Alzheimer’s hell"

Nikkey, "protecting" him might actually be allowing him to take this opportunity that has opened up. Safe, monitored, and with every opportunity for you to visit and love him - best of both.

Caregivers are there for 8 hours - how much easier it is to be patient and loving and nurturing knowing you can go home after a shift - not having to live it 24/7. I know this to be true.



"But IS HE ready?!"

If Lynn could have seen into the future and known what your life would look like when he was "himself".... what would he tell you to do?
