Hi, I'm struggling a bit to a life without my husband of 30yrs +. He had a cardiac arrest almost 3 yrs ago and now lives full time in a neurorehabilitation hospital. He is relaxed and seems happy however it is pretty much impossible to have any sort of dialogue with him and he also suffers from retrograde and anterograde amnesia. I don't know of any support groups in my local area where they have sort of social activities with folk in similar circumstances, does anyone know of anything?
