Sounds wonderful, @pierwell I wish I could have done this during my caregiving years but my wife’s anxiety levels and care demands wouldn’t have allowed it. It’s why I found Connect in the very beginning of our journey. Great that your community has come together like this!
Strength, Courage, & Peace

How did you find them, i found the dementia/Alzheimer’s meeting not very personable. I stopped going because there is 20 people and it only lasts 90 minutes hardly long enough to get to know anyone.

What a blessing that you found a great support group. I have searched for several years and sadly, family has failed us and even church folks failed us. Oh everyone is smiles and asked the famous question, "how are you" and "be sure to have self care". They mean well and they are human just like we are. Truthfully when you get down to the details how quick the conversation ceases. I have to be careful not to get synical and all i can envsion is the ostrich with head in the sand. It has been such a lonely journey for me. In desparation, i have sought counselling and not much progess there but someone who will listen to me vent. My cat is very supportive and that is most amazing. Keep your chin up. I know what it feels like to drive to starbucks or grocery parking lot and ball my eyes out for release of sadness.
