My husband to whom I have been married for 39 years is now disabled after suffering a brain haemorrhage in December 2006. He was a very intelligent, strong and assertive man, who was in complete control of our business affairs and finances. I ran the home but left the rest up to him, which suited me just fine. Now he cannot act in that role anymore and we both hate the change in the dynamics of our relationship. He gets very frustrated, and on bad days he feels it would have been better if he had died. On those days when it is like living with someone with mild dementia, I agree with him!
How do others cope with this sort of life changing scenario?
