[quote=Anonymous]Seeing this happen to my FIL (80) right now. For years, MIL has had some sort of cognitive decline but he’s hidden it and only fairly recently had her tested: results showed mid stage dementia (she’s still verbal, can perform most ADL, no longer drives) and FIL decided upon no further testing. So, he does all of the caretaking to include grocery shopping, meal prep, housecleaning, doctor appointments. Already it’s taking a toll: FIL gets emotional and cries easily and refuses to hire or ask for any help. We’ve tried. I worry that if FIL ever loses consciousness or worse, MIL would not know what to do (she can’t operate anything without help, can no longer write). [/quote]
