If this helps even one person today it’s worth sharing.

Recently I attended a class for caregivers of dementia patients. The class was all basic information and mainly for people whose loved ones are new to the diagnosis.

Anyway, the nurse who was teaching said something that plays out in my mind daily.

She said - “most of the time, if not all the time, we find this disease will always be harder on the caregiver. It will make you question your own sanity. Be patient with yourself because if you don’t you can end up worse than the patient.”

Be kind to yourself today. Don’t forget (lol get it?) this is most of our first time too. We’re doing the best we can with what we’ve got. ♥️
