I've been dreading this

Today was the day I have been dreading since Joe was diagnosed. Todayhe had his first “accident”. He had so many questions. He feels he is sick, it’s a stomach bug, he needs certain foods in his diet.

Repeatedly we talked about this is a part of Alzheimer’s. Repeatedly he questioned why, what did he do wrong, what should he eat to fix this. I have to say, I handled it okay. That could be that I have had three and a half years of obsessing over the start and the continuing. I do not want to go down this path. In fact I dread it with all I have. But yet again, I see how he needs me to walk him through this. I will stand with him and do what I can but I am also so tired.
