Barry SEEMS to go in and out of understanding and can't verbalize IF he has understood.
Then he will talk incoherently and will expect an acknowledgement.
I have resorted to saying OK to most of what he asks and guessing what he says.
Fortunately I know him well enough to decipher
the old stories that I have heard a million times over the years.
A Blessing !!
Would like to know if you have experienced this stage and is this one of the symptoms of final stage.

My husband did not talk nor did he discuss. But he did watch the same tv show ore and ore....thus the same conversations were being heard...does that count? I know it does not seem a blessing, but allow him to 'talk" don't get frustrated....listen and decipher and treat it as a gift to hear his voice and converse with him

Thank you for your reply. How are you today ? Sending love 💛🙏
I can only speak minute by minute...woke up at 7:58..it is now 8:17 am. as I awoke ihad this great idea of how to fix his pond that leaks water...its actually the hose that does not pour all the water back in to the pond but anyway....then I cleaned half my kitchen...dishes need to be done...I must have all this energy because I ate dinner last night....very simple, a burger with no fixins some old corn bread and potato salad...lets hope they weren't too old! hahaha ....my sewer is busted and it's gonna cost big bucks to fix so I must go lightly when using !. It will be fixed this week ....I'm having my first cup and thinking of the things that i "should" get done today......being on this site is not one of them.....but it is the best one! hahahah
how are you?

Dear Andrea, life has a strange way of continuing without our loved ones.
Eating and doing dishes must seem so mundane.
Our lives are full of purpose when we are caring.
I am dreading the time when I will loose my Barry but I have been mourning him bit by bit for the past few years.
As you well know what that is like.
Continue to mourn deeply my dear but take care of yourself.
Make a fresh potato salad.
Much love. Althea 💛🙏
Please don't let me depress you. I am glad I met you but you are still fighting the good fight and I do not want push things other than what you are dealing with on to you.....I do have to say one thing about my experience. I am ok that B passed on. My preacher said that the Salvation Army (that's not my church...)states that at their funerals, the loved one has been "promoted". I like that idea. Because our faith was strong, Bruce and I were confident that the other side would bring him that much closer to Christ. In fact I am not sorry for him or me in that I am reassured that he is at rest with his Lord....so cool .....
So if I may encourage you to lean on your Lord and find that 'blessed assurance' that allows for promotion of our loved ones, it will make it easier for you and your family..... dreading the day is normal, staying in the dread is horrible.....and I must admit I dread the day sometimes but more for the "what now's" than the what ifs or the why me.....now it's how do I find a job; how do I fix my plumbing; how do I..... ....
Take Care, Take Joy, have fun, be happy
Do well ,

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34
Thank you Andrea,
The scriptures you post are always comforting. The belief that we will see our maker is of utmost importance to Barry and I.
Much love 💛🙏
Another chest infection
Another star in the sky
Having another down day today😔
Another Stage.
