i say that to my mom to but it's usually a grunt to get my attention and it's so sad cause I miss hearing her voice thank you @A myALZteam Member for answering my question sometimes I feel like I'm alone with this but then I realize other people are going through the the same thing and it's good to talk to other caregivers to help me get through this

Oh yes, @A myALZteam Member - my husband almost always speaks in a whisper. He has very little language left due to progressive aphasia and when I ask him to repeat what he has said he usually has forgotten what he said. His frustration level must be huge. I try so hard to understand the first time. Once in a while I ask him to speak louder, which he can do, but he will not remember at a later time so it is pretty futile. I have no idea why the soft voice.

My Mom whispers a lot & talks so low that it's hard to understand her. The only thing I can do is get closer to her to possibly hear & if I don't, I just keep asking her,"what did you say?" until I get it. It seems everything to do with it, is very time consuming. There's no rushing, thinking you may be able to get another task accomplished.
