Strange new phase. A dear friend of ours died unexpectanctly of a heart attack. In the past nothing brought tears to my LO; death of parents, siblings, dogs, cats. Okay, he almost cried when his horse died, almost. But with this lose he broke down again and again. Good grief, what's happening to his brain? Kind of scarey. Hard to lose good friend; and watch such changes in spouse. What's next?
That is really strange, MsAbby, it must have struck a very responsive (still active) chord in him. I simply cannot imagine my DH reacting to anything in that way. But we live and learn.
My husband's AD affects him regarding his inhibition. He has had periods of crying easily and unexpectedly. It was a shock at first - but it comes and goes. Sometimes he will look at me and ask "why did I do that"........
DH was also one who never cried in my presence before AD took over. He can't even communicate with us now, and most of the time, I can't tell if he knows me and the boys or not. But he cries when he sees us a lot, so I take that as a sign he knows. Still, it's so hard to see him that way. When he sees me and cries, I wonder if I'm causing him more pain by visiting.
