My husband of 55 years died recently from a battle with dementia.  (6 years or so).  I was his primary caregiver until the last 6 months when he went into hospice and residential care.  The first week I was pretty much in shock and now as things seem to be settling I have still been overwhelmed with paper work, (bank, insurance, etc).  I can't seem to get my priorities straight.  I also want to go back to my activities outside the home, but just dread it when I meet someone I know that doesn't know what happened.  I just don't know what and when I am going to tackle his personal effects.  The 6 months he was in care, I did nothing, and I still am doing nothing.  I just feel so mixed up at times.
