My dad’s wife has this diagnosis. It’s an awful disease. And he is battling cancer while being her caregiver. Doesn’t want to place her yet. Meanwhile, my mom is healthy. But he and his wife have been married longer than he was married to my mom - going on 35 years now. I was over there the other day and he found a song he wanted to play - “Where’ve You Been”, Kathy Matea. Had me all torn up - my grandson was saying, “are you okay, Grandmother?” It would be so different if they had stayed together, but they didn’t’. So here we are.
I understand.
Tough stuff to deal with.
My wife’s parents are divorced and her mother is very irrational about it. Can’t mention her fathers name nor can the grandchildren talk about seeing him.
They’ve been divorced for 41 years!!
I have a family history of Alzheimer’s. I’m 44 been married 25 years.
I hope my wife is spared the pain.
