@gratia What you said about connecting with this group of people, online . . . Absolutely true that it’s a help, and a comfort. I have felt better, in my way, thinking ‘there are others going through this, so it isn’t just me ‘. Kind of selfish to think that way, but I don’t feel quite so alone, now.

@dederickve I don’t think it’s selfish at all. It’s really important to feel understood & seen. In this community, you can share something that’s really hard with other people who understand.
There are resources available that other people know about, and that can be helpful as well.
Even though each situation is unique, and there are different variables, we are all in this kind of strange dementia caregiving experience together.
I hope you’re doing well and enjoying your weekend where you can. I’m taking a little time off caregiving, and I didn’t realize how necessary it was.
It’s really important to take care of your own health and well being. 🤗❤️
