The Truth About Dementia Caregiving

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, or frontotemporal dementia (or any other dementia) is challenging. It’s normal to have a variety of different feelings along your journey and many may not be pleasant. You are not alone. #alzheimer #dementia #caregiver

Valuable information. Caregivers are worn out physically and mentally. They need help, time away, and restorative sleep.

Thanks, , , It's hard, stressful yet there is no real understanding to why and what's really going on in the brain, things don't make since!🤗🙏

When you are awakened multiple times at night, Grrh. Symptoms of early dementia, sleep deprivation and chronic stress are similar. Thanks validating my feelings and that I am not alone.

Thank you! I hate to admit this! I want God to heal him and the only way for this is to take him home!!! 🙏🫂❤️

I needed this today. I felt so sad that she’s gets so haughty at me because my mother at 93 acts that taking heart medication can be taken some random time in the am and another time in the evening. But when younger she was very serious about taking her meds on a twelve hour cycle. She just acts like I’m bothering her.

Thank you. I am taking care of my elderly mother. I wouldnt say she is full dementia. But shes definitely not all there anymore and its so hard. I have broken down so many times. 😰

caregiving at 19 in 2020 harbored a lot of resentment but i would give anything to go to the laundromat for Gaga one last time 🥺 i learned so much as an attendant and i am thankful for the experience despite the struggles

God I need your help! My husband has dementia and it is getting very bad. I want to sell our home and downsize out property as we can no longer manage it. How do I go about getting him on board with this? Also our son is a total nightmare and I want to move so he can't find us. Please help!!! I am at my wits end and want to protect my husband.

Okay, these are not secrets dear ! Caregivers talk to each other all the time! The only people you are actually talking to, are people who are not Caregivers . Tell them these things.
