Thank you both for your kind words. I am glad you both found the book helpul, it became my bible during that period, I would find myself using it every day.
I personally didnt go to any support groups, but I think they are a wonderful source of support. We were in VT in the middle of no where, and we werent able to leave him with anyone to go to one, so I guess we supported each other.
However, I would highly suggest going to one, especially since there are groups in The Villages. It is very hard on the caregiver, as well as the patient and hearing from others going thru the same experience could be a tremendous help and lifeline to keep you going each day.
My prayers go out to you both and to your families.
