The first thing you must do as a caregiver is to be kind to yourself. You will not be perfect.
This disease is not what you signed up for in life ...yet you are doing an amazing job in the most difficult of circumstances.
The kinder you are to yourself the kinder you will be able to be to your loved one.
Because of the pain of this you will become the person you were meant to be.
We all hate the disease and what it does to all of us ...yet we must strive to stay gentle with ourselves and with our loved ones.
It is the only way to survive, Buddha

Thank you for your kind words. I do have an aide n family support but it seems we all have more questions than answers! Thank you again!

A good reminder for all of us caregivers.
