@lizzabeth Thank you for your post. It made me think about all the small adjustments I have already made and reinforced my desire, again, to be more patient and loving. What caregivers class have you all taken? All the best.

Hello: at our Dementia Support Group they show us Teepa Snow videos. Anything you can find on the internet by her should prove helpful.
The Alzheimers Association offers free classes, as does Oregon Care Partners.
Good luck to you.

@grandmajoan My husband participates in a Respite program at a local church. I attended a caregivers class that they have and it was very beneficial. I learned I had been doing most everything wrong😔…its helped me to understand better what he is going through. They also have a monthly support group meeting for caregivers and that has also been very helpful. I had been keeping so much inside for so long…it helps to share with others who are on the same journey. I also read books and watch you tube videos on dementia. I am also very excited to be able to attend a Teepa Snow event here in our town. She is world renowned for her work in the area of dementia. Our personal situations may all be different, but we have the same goal…to help our loved ones live their lives as best as they can, and the more we learn the better we can do that. ❤️
