I need advice. My husband is starting to throw things away. So far, as far as I can tell, it's been minor stuff, mostly mine unfortunately. I try to keep a watchful eye on what he's doing but I can't watch everything. I'm worried that important things will start disappearing soon.

Depends on what is being tossed . I try to get rid as much stuff as I can. For me it makes life easier. That said, if throwing away valuable things you might convince him to put it in a storage area. Least you know it still exists.

@A myALZteam Member Definitely keep important documents hidden. My husband has a compulsive urge to pick up everything by and sometimes, relocate. He loves to pick up photos and drag them around. I have bought multiples of some things like scissors that always seem to to disappear. Good luck!!

My wife is doing the same, however not throwing away but hiding in very clever places. She took 2 important documents and hid them. 2 days later, I found them folded and in a bag she's preparing for when she goes to her other better home. (doesn't have another home). We've been here for 55 years!
