I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my husband to Alzheimers last December, one week after his 74th birthday. We had been married for 49 years. He wasn't talking toward the end but as I held him he patted me on the back, and I told him how much he was loved and to let go. He had not eaten in over 20 days. I know this story doesn't really help you, but if you ever want to talk I am here. My prayers are with you and your family.

you are in my prayers, God will give his strength through this so very hard time. Gina

He's the only one whom doesn't feel that anything is wrong with him. We've been married for 40 yrs. and I'm very much committed thim. I find myself getting upset with him, even though I know he's unaware of what I'm disagreeing with him about. He gets very upset, and tunes me out, when I try to make him understand what he's doing wrong.
Open Loneliness
I am very sad over the recent loss of my husband, after 40 yrs. of marriage. It's been 5 wks.,and I still cry a lot. Our son moved in with me,since we both need each other, but we are both feeling depressed and don't have good appetites.
