I never wanted to come here.......I need it now. Husband is losing his mind....short term memory

28. Yes, HUGS HELP is the best advice.

My husband has been leaving me slowly day by day for at least 8 years.
I get annoyed by his repeating questions over and over.
He now needs help finding rooms down the hall.
Making breakfast? Only getting a glass of OJ. He can reheat coffee in the microwave because I have a sticker on the "add 30 seconds" button.
I am glad that our induction stove has a control system that he can't figure out.

All things considered, I am very fortunate.
I try to think of his repetitions as singing the refrain of a song over and over (and I have been guilty of that most of my life.
He surprises me with quotations of poetry from his youth.

But I realize that HE IS OFTEN FRIGHTENED, and touch goes a long way to help him, and me.
He wants it, and I accept it even if it interrupts what I am doing.
I initiate it many times as day and we both feel better.

I wish you well. Know that others are here too.
