It had not occurred to me that anyone faced with caregiving alongside a person diagnosed with dementia would not seek… help, to learn all possible. I know you would not be following along here if you were that incurious.
To my utter surprise, I met a disinterested spouse recently. I gather she had gone to an intro meeting, but apparently stopped at Previgen didn’t help?
Of course, it doesn’t. I don’t mean to be judgmental but this lack of basics hit me.
It’s bad enough and hard enough to approach the role of caregiver armed with the knowns and the not-knowns.
If I am serious about being non-judgmental, I will let this go, and be grateful for her that she made it to the end of her journey.
Let me advise you, if you are starting life with your loved one with a dementia diagnosis, to find out all you can. Seek assistance. Be informed.
this is our life
