Having a Good Attitude, Even When Your Wife Has Alzheimer's and Doesn't Recognize You Anymore

Imagine being married for more than 60 years and then having your spouse have to move away.
Imagine spending more than 60 years living with your loved one and then only being able to visit a few times a week.
Imagine your loved one forgetting your name and who you are and all of the things you did together.
John Barnes has had to live through these problems since his wife, Jane, moved to Memory Care because of Alzheimer's in 2021. It hasn't been an easy journey for John, but he has learned to keep a good attitude about things and appreciate the moments he can still spend with his wife.
John talks to his son, Mike Barnes, a co-founder of Parenting Aging Parents, about that good attitude and how a support group and finding special moments has helped him through the process.
