How about the coping with the difficulty of caring for an aged and ailing spouse whose mind has been impaired from a stroke? I'm 17 years my husband's junior. He will be 80 in October and has poor balance; little tolerance anymore; inability to concentrate on the financial matters or focusing on much of anything. I have ADD, so have difficulty (even with meds) keeping up with all the household responsibility. I am getting some help from gerontoligist who has a company that does all the legwork to find respite situations; check out assisted living etc. which gives me some assistance. There are few resources for people like me in the way of books or articles. I plan to join a support group for people caring for dementia-related loved ones.
