Hello,
My husband was told that he had 5 years before he would lose all function. He is just 60. I am trying to find ways to support him. I am seeing a lot of his ADL’s slipping. I am worried about him driving and handling power tools. He is quite depressed and I find him sobbing quite a bit. I am 65, working at a emotionally stressful job with the homeless, have grandchildren and my own mental health problems. I find I am doing more and more of the household chores and it’s draining. When he doesn’t understand things on the computer or something he has read he panics and I have to drop everything to solve his problem.
He refuses to use any mobility aids like a walker and I am afraid he will have a fall. He can’t handle anything that is not routine such as a birthday party or visiting his daughter who is in addiction. I think we could pool our resources via zoom. I am home by 630 pm usually BC time. Thanks
