Lonely

Caregiving is lonely. I’m sure I have lamented this in numerous posts.

Burt seems like he’s pretty lonely, too. If you have a pwd, your person might also be feeling lonely.

I need to be a bit more hands-on empathetic. It’s hard to stick with him when he’s not making sense. He’s lonely even with the busy, crowded imagination he brings to the room.

Much of the time, he doesn’t rely on the real people around him for company. He turns to his hallucinations for conversation.

He has a delusion that I’m not here and a hallucination to replace me with Buddy or Betty.

For some reason, I am not upset that he doesn’t acknowledge me. It would make me happy if he knew just how loved he is. I want him to know that he is not alone.
