It’s a quandary we face. The person we love and married is no longer the same. I miss him all the time.
Life with a p.w.d. is far from easy. Is this the right time to place him or her in a residential home?
A social worker once told me, “You will know when the time is right.”
I don’t think there is a time that’s right, only the time that’s right for you. I am choosing to keep Burt at home. With help, I believe I can do it.
Residential care may salvage a caregiver’s nerves; it may be the right thing at this right time.
The caregiving, the advocacy, the memories of better days, and the love continue at home or in a home.
Every person with Lewy Body Dementia, it is said, is different. So is every caregiver for that person.
Go with your gut. There is no wrong thing you can do.
