"Your loved one may not have the ability to voice their emotions due to their aphasia. They may not recognize that their actions can be speaking louder than their words. Don't take their reactions personally. If they're having a bad day, it may have nothing to do with you. " - Genevieve Richardson

DESCRIPTION

Focus on any small changes that can be made to improve the situation. Acknowledge how you might perceive what your spouse is feeling at the time. Maybe you're onto something, and you can help them explore their feelings about the situation using your words.
