How I took care of my partner with dementia and saved myself
WAPO - In the months after my partner, Alex, was diagnosed with dementia in 2019, more than one person advised me to “save” myself. What they meant was that I should move Alex into an assisted-living facility and get on with my life. It wasn’t an unreasonable suggestion. Alex was 23 years older than me — 75 to my 52. Although we had been in a relationship for 18 years, we had lived together for less than a year. We were not married. He had two adult daughters. It didn’t have to be me. And yet, I never seriously considered it.
