Thanks for sharing @Kurra
That sounds like you have some really great tool in place. I think its great that you have a colleague who is open and willing to support you. This makes me happy!!!
Someone mentioned to me they often listen to 'white noise' at night, not actually the radio and this really helps for them.

@sjmilne Thanks for sharing!
That is a really fascinating statement. Have you thought about getting out some blue paint and a paintbrush and doing it?

Has anyone experienced any other types of hallucinations they want to share? How have they made you feel?

Hopefully things are turning around @leitor. The carers program will be a great place for you to learn all the things you and your wife are eligible for.
Unfortunately if you don't know what to ask for, sometimes you slip through the crack. We still have a long way to go in terms of supporting everyone in our community.
But you have found us here at SANE, and you are connecting with a carers program, so you are on the right steps.
