Obsessive Thinking and Caregiving

Oh wow do you ever have a challenge. With my sister whom I care for with dementia, I too have to address issues when they come up or else it can go on for days. It's amazing what they totally have forgotten and what they totally remember. Keep on dear friend and keep up the humor. Glad to hear your stories. I think the things they get stuck on are really the only way they can come up with to express fear. We have to dig around and find what makes them afraid and solve that.

I apologize for taking so long to reply to your comment. I like your comment that you believe the things they get stuck on are a way to express fear. Thinking about it now I can see how there is an element of fear in the constant requests for validation of what has been said time and again. Thank you for that insight. I am participating in a chat group at caregiving.com It is an amazing site and has a variety of chats plus tons of information and opportunities to share about yourself.
