I first started reading and listening to Rachael and Dementia By Day in 2015 when I first noticed my husband’s odd behavior. I think I owe my sanity to you. You taught me that my reality was not his reality.
For 2 months, we “went home” every night. He would pack up the car, I would drive around for 5-10 minutes and then we would pull into the driveway and he was happy to be home! Your calm way of dealing with a new topic/challenge gave me hope that I would make it through this. I can’t thank you enough. I feel as though you became my friend.
