Member since February 02, 2013My husband began EOAD at age 57. he was 70 in June. It has been a long 12+ years but the last 2-3 have shown the most decline. he is about middle stage 6. We had a very active life filled with friends and family, but now he's happiest with just me. I retired 2 1/2 years ago to care for him full time. I miss my work, my friends, my travel and independence, but we all do what we must in this life. i know this is not the life he chose for us either. i miss the man that I married. i am thankful for this group where we can vent on bad days and rejoice in the few happy moments!!
