Dealing with a loved one’s dementia diagnosis is exhausting.
It can be really hard to even know where to begin. I get it.
You are a busy professional at the peak of your career, and suddenly you have to also manage a very complex disease process in someone you care very much about.
You’re using up all of your paid leave caring for your loved one’s needs, but you really need a break!
You’re afraid of the next phases of the disease: When should they stop driving? Can they live safely alone? What if they don’t recognize me anymore?
You’re juggling the opinions of all of your family members and trying to come up with a consensus on what steps to take next.
You’ve given serious consideration to throwing in the towel because it’s all just too overwhelming.
The good news is that there IS a way forward.
I’ve just opened my brand new FREE Community Facebook Group called Dementia Caregiving Strategies where I’ll be sharing helpful tips and resources for families who want to get caregiving right. Not on Facebook? Resources are also posted at CaregiverRescueRoadmap.com.
