Your book has been an absolute life saver for me and finally I am able to cope with his outbursts without getting upset myself. The hardest thing I find now is having time away from him as he hates not knowing exactly where I am and will ring me several times a day just to hear my voice. It gets to the point is easier to stay home with him as I don't really get a break when away. Most of the time its hard to tell he has LBD however the mood swings and outbursts sure show how he is.Karen Smartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1074151567956258470.post-54034634251452377852013-01-16T10:42:42.026-08:002013-01-16T10:42:42.026-08:00Thanks so much for your comment.

They’d simply moved to a different venue." I care for my husband who has LBD. He's at home now and doing ok, but was in a rehab center for two months last summer. Wherever he is, I will care for him, advocate for him, and love him.<br />You're right that as caregivers, we have to realize we need help before we get exhausted. <br />Thanks for your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
