We dont have to tell people with dementia everything they did - TopicsExpress



          

We dont have to tell people with dementia everything they did wrong. For one thing, theyll forget. Theyll forget your words, but their hearts will be heavy. With fear and loneliness. And you wont feel so great either. Actually, your heart will sink under that same fear and loneliness. You see, youre sometimes trying to carry your Moms dementia. But thats her job. Not to carry it. Just to walk along with it. Your job is to give yourself kindness. To soothe your own anxiety. To build comfort into your life. Then to walk along with your Mom. And if that gets to be too much, bring others into your life to care for your Mom. Well help. Well do a great job too. For you as well. You dont have to do it all. Theres an army of great caregivers out here.
