I have been caring for my husband who has mobility problems for nearly 20 years with things gradually getting worse. I was beginning to struggle and now he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and I’m ashamed to say that on Friday when I rang a carers group I am part of about power of attorney they asked how I was coping and suddenly the flood gates opened and I’m walking round with the dog breaking my heart and couldn’t stop crying. We now have crisis carers every morning to help me wash and dress him it is such a relief to not to have to do everything so why do I feel so guilty and also worried over over what will happen now. I am now getting upset again whilst writing this any help or advice please

I have recently become my husbands carer after he came home from hospital. He was there for 9 weeks. I'm finding it really difficult to cope. We were supposed to have a care package in place but that didn't happen until I lost my temper and said I'd had enough. Now we have carer coming in and I don't know how to react. I just want someone to talk to everything is revolving around husband but I feel lost sorry for rant
