Hello, I am Maria. I care for my mom who has advanced Alzheimers. I also work full-time, (I'm a parmedic that works in a clinic), and am active in my church. Most of my time is spent on my mother, either caring for her or keeping track of the aids caring for her. I am even in the process of selling my home to live in the same building where she resides as to make it easier on me to care for her. I do understand the demand the disease takes on resources, time, space and life. I am the oldest of 3 siblings who help me not at all. I understand the isolation and resentment as the one in the family who is the caregiver for all. Remember, Life is great when you put others before you. I love my mom and eventhough she makes me nuts sometimes, I have no regrets.
