This husband is a man to be respected. Tears in my eyes. Thank you for sharing this story. ❤

The hardest part of my husband‘s dementia was one time when he was no longer speaking and just sitting in a wheelchair he suddenly started crying, and it broke my heart, because I knew he knew what was happening to him at that moment. I cry every time I think about it, we were married for 50 years

My wife had a stroke at 38 and she’s fully dependent on me. It’s been 6 years and this video is all too familiar and made me feel like I’m not alone. No one knows what a caregiver goes through until they become a caregiver!

[Sonjaathome]

What an absolutely sweet man. A real partner - the definition of a husband.

[jennifersnipes]

The first story is so heartbreaking, but the husband stayed with his wife as long as he could♥️

[Phraeyah]

Aww, Mike stole my heart when he declared lovingly, "I DID sign up for it!". What a charming man. Such a sad story. Condolences to all the families who lost a loved one like this ❤

[MomCatMeows]

Cruelest disease ever. The loved ones suffer so much. 💔

[marybarry]

I saw my mom “disappear” in front of my eyes for seven years. I would not wish Alzheimer’s on my worst enemy.

[tommycollier]

Her husband Is so remarkable Thanks for sharing this story

I was so impressed with the husband‘s response when the reporter asked, “but that’s not what you signed up for.” Referring to the role reversals and taking care of his wife. His response was a solid “Yes I did, when I took our oath”. That is a true man, a true husband. Loyalty and a sense of selflessness are things the world could use a little more of. LEGEND

Our family decided to keep my mom at home, so I quit my job and set up a team for mom's care. The family paid me, and I paid my team. We were told my mom only had about 4 to 6 months to live. Each family member had a role. My brother and his wife kept my dad company. Dad visited mom every day at my house where we would all have lunch together. My dad had care for my mom for 4years on his own. My sister who lived away was my Amazon person anything I needed for mom arrived the next day. Being at home surrounded by love, my mom lived 18mos. longer than predicted. It was wonderful to care for my mom there were days when she was lucid and knew me well and other days, I was the help. This all took a toll on my dad he passed away 6mos before my mom. It was an honor to care from my parents. I recommend it if you can, but it takes a team!

I am crying as I watch this. I'm doing the same for my beloved wife Kellie. There is literally nothing I wouldn't do for her. Only my love for her keeps the fear of the future at bay.

[pasky]

Even as a neurologist, this is hard to watch. It reminds me of all my patients and their families with incredible challenges!😢

[vidilaz]

Mike is an absolute treasure, when he said how he hopes she dies before him truly broke my heart, because of how much he cares in spite of the rough situation.

It stinks to think that mom died twice from Alzheimer's once when she forgot who she was and who she loved their entire life and then again when she met the bitter end that awaits us all. It was a heartbreaking journey, but I would hold her hand through it again .
"The brain may Forget but the Heart Will remember"

I was a CNA when I was 20 and I remember a young 42 year lady with dementia in the assisted nursing facility but everyone else was at least 30 years older than her. It broke my heart to know she didn’t get to enjoy living her life like everyone else and that her family didn’t either.

[humblehalfacre]

I was the caretaker to both my father with lung cancer and my mom with advanced alzheimer both at the same time. Devastating yet humbling experience.

[alanaadams]

I took care of my mother for two years. She was helpless and had dementia. She didn't recognize me. I was 75 yrs old and she was 96 i finally had to put her in a group home I was just worn out

[andrewdubose]

“But that’s not what you signed up for”.

“Yes I did”.

Guy didn’t even have to think about it and was so confident in his answer. 🥺
