My husband is in the mid stages of Alzheimer’s and I recognize this will be difficult for him. Has anyone been in the same situation and if so, suggestions as to how to help him are appreciated.

When we moved two years ago to be near family, I encouraged Joe to replicate his wood workshop in the garage and a train room in the basement. The train room was a retirement plan he hadn’t implemented.
Setting those up took him several months. It was happy, if confused puttering that kept Joe active. And kept me from having to try to fill his time.
He never used either room, which was quite sad for me, but it kept Joe’s life going in a normal way for awhile.
Perhaps there’s something similar that will work for you.

You are so right with all you have said. It’s such a loss not having that interaction with your partner. I struggle with those same feelings. I think it’s ok to feel sorry for yourself at times. I guess we need to focus on the little things and be grateful for what we do have.
