Fact is we should be talking about this more (although I understand, maybe not here in our forum grin).

It is a silent epidemic. My wife is 70 and was physically healthy. Ya, over the past 4-5 years there were small signs of memory and cognitive decline, but we all considered it old age. She stopped driving 2-3 years ago but otherwise things were ok – life went on. However, 10 months ago her dementia advanced to psychotic behavior. I considered it a stroke due to sudden onset. This led to 9 days of behavioral health hospitalization. This behavior is today managed with Risperidone. We are together now in our home getting by the best we can. I won’t sugar coat it, it is a severe life-ending hardship for us both. But it is amazing what one can do when needed.

The prayers and kind words (and of course music making) go a long way in making the situation tolerable.

And regarding how I am able to sing the lyrics, I can only say that I have no tears left to cry. Which may be the title to my next song. smile
