As Dementia caregivers, we can get frustrated when it takes so much longer to help our loved ones with personal care. But patience helps our loved ones relax and supports our own nervous systems.

Grief can be a daily experience for us as dementia caregivers as we mourn the loss of how our loved ones interacted with us before the symptoms of dementia began. Asking God for a different perspective can take the sting out of our grief and help us shift from all we’ve lost to what we could gain as we serve as guides for the spirits of our loved ones to ascend. #dementia #dementiacaregiver #caregiver #caregiverlife #God #dianechew #fyp | Diane Chew

Caregivers often suffer from isolation because they can’t maintain the social interactions they had in the past. Dementia caregivers can feel particularly lonely when others avoid visiting because they don’t know how to interact with someone going through cognitive changes. Please consider just experimenting and giving it a try. It may be uncomfortable until you realize that everybody living with dementia just wants to be appreciated and loved, like we all do. Bring some snacks, bring a game, wa
