Stop Carrying Dementia Care Entirely in Your Head
Before exhaustion, constant reaction, and second-guessing quietly take over the household.
When your wife's dementia care starts depending on what you can remember, the pressure builds fast.
Medications become harder to track.
Doctor instructions blur together
Appointments pile up
Behavior changes become difficult to interpret.
And suddenly, every responsibility is living inside your head.
Most husbands try to hold everything together mentally at first.
The problem is not intelligence.
The problem is carrying too much uncertainty without enough structure supporting you.
