[QUOTE="MIP1950, post: 219689, member: 42988"] Thank you, Vince. I watched a TED talk by a physician whose husband has dementia and that was the topic of her talk. My wife, though, is resistant to anything outside her comfort zone. My primary, who is also a caregiver, counseled me that if someone is resistant, there's nothing that can be done. She seems not to have the will to survive, though she knows from watching her sisters succumb to dementia, what the future holds. I can't understand someone who refuses to try and that leaves me frustrated, angry and sad. As I've written on other posts, we've not had a good marriage but she's still someone I've spent 30 years with( good times, bad times) and to watch her decline; to see the end play out in slow motion, is devastating.
