Hi Kimmer - welcome to the family. I know it's a tough time for you right now, but there are many caregivers who are members here, who have gone through what you are facing right now and who have valuable advice and suggestions.

Sadly, mood changes are just a part of the cycle as husband goes through all the stages of denial, anger, and then acceptance. Hopefully you can get him to join the forum himself so he can hear the words of all of us who have gone through this before him (and come out the other side). If you can't get him to join then you have to be the relay to get this information to him.

Stay strong, try to stay upbeat both for you and for him and when you need to vent, we will listen. Many people here helped me get through mine, so afterwards we pay it forward by helping others get through theirs.

take care,
