Is anything ever completed in a day? Going from room to room, seeing all the things that are not done instead of what you have been able to complete. If you are an in home care giver please give yourself some grace and see all the things you have completed despite the mountain of what looks undone
If you loved one is now in a care facility you too must give yourself some grace. The best visits are not real long but filled with genuine moments of wanting to be there to continue to do what you have always done...help them live with dignity.
Stay strong, God walks this with you.

Husband are you now in a total caregiver position? This is a one day at a time journey. Bless you for not giving up.Our help comes from the Lord He gives grace for each moment. Isolation will not be a good choice for you.
Seek help early, with someone to help with what burdens you most. A neighbor, a home health agency. A little bit of help gives you breathing space.
Take one moment at a time. Keep your sense of humor, laugh, care for yourself and your needs.How precious that you keep the sacrament of your vows. "In sickness and in health!
This is a safe place to share your journey.

To everything there is a season.There seems a shift in the area of this disease.More and more men are becoming the caregivers. This is such an unnatural balance to the men protect, women nurture world. It is very uncharted ground for many.
Its a day by day journey of asking for strength for men.
Sifting through the facts, doing the daily care. Dealing with their loved ones emotional health.
Men the greatest thing you can do for yourself is say these three words, "I need help."
Then...take that first step.
It's not a disease you fight alone.
Your gonna be alright.

Looking back on photo's from years ago brings up all kinds of memories for us. Caregivers especially. We look at our loved one and remember with smiles moments together. Ocean moments, Camping moments, moments rocking babies, chasing dogs, hugging cats, meals with families over holidays. Life's full moments. Silence settles in our hearts after this reflection and if we are truthful..sad settles in. Walking with God teaches us to count our many blessings!
We can do that! Large or small there are always blessings. Teeth brushed for the day or shower accomplished. Or even as small as a smile that clearly says "I remember you." Counting blesssings with you today friend.

The isolation of being a caregiver is real. Sometimes your loved one is the only person you see all week. The reality is it takes all the energy to just do the daily things and the extra mess no one speaks of like constant soiled clothes and the battle to shower your loved one.There seems no one to scream to and there is no good time to cry. You are not alone I promise you. God cries with you but also is so very proud of you staying the course on the path.

Usually a fall starts decisions rolling about your loved one at a pace quicker than you were ready for. Reality one is, if your loved one remains in the hospital you must fight to have someone beside them till choices are made. Hospitals do not have the time to constantly be by someone with Dementia/ Alzheimers.
They say they do but they 100% do not.
Be kind to yourself and if a crisis has not happened search your heart and pre plan your plan*
This event will create anxiety for you.
Breathe, God will guide your choices.

Stumbling in on a moment, have you ever heard your loved one in prayer?
"Oh Lord I think its time for me to come home." As we age , with our whole mind or without we all have a longing for home. Heaven is our real home. Scripture says, We are strangers, we are aliens, we are not of this world. Has your loved one ever said "I dont fit in here anymore, I dont belong." It breaks our human heart to hear this and we try to bring comforting words that dont help.
Somehow the uncomfortable comforting is to agree and remind them maybe Jesus isnt quite ready for you yet, maybe He would like you to have a bit more time so we can love on you.Would that be alright?
Hug them till heaven where we will all meet soon and very soon

Is it a little lie? Is it a gesture of compassion? Can we wait just a bit?
The most heart breaking decision is,
How, or do I tell my loved one someone close to them has died?
What is the best way to word things?
Would the truth be to much for them to bear?
Our family chose to tell our mother her son had died. There was the reality for her and she grieved. After a while things became a blurr and she would ask us if he was alright, once or twice we again told her the truth.She stopped asking and slipped into her new reality of illusion. She saw him in her building explaining he was very busy in meetings and we did not correct her or ever again speak of the loss.
Do what you feel is best for your loved one. Each situation should be handled
gently and with respect.
In their grief, God will meet them.
His word says , "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted."

Do we see the changes happen?

First it is a withdrawal from conversations in crowds. Then it is smiling a little less, a far away look, not remembering names or places. Slowly slipping. Its a little sad this disease that robs us of the loved one "we once knew."

They are still in there! Dont stop trying to reach for that smile or taking them to visit their favorite places, or new places to make a memory moment like hugging puppies or gazing at the beauty of God"s special places. Keep reaching for a connect moment. They are gifts to be cherished

Many, many times our plans dont work out the way we thought. We slot in mentally an hour with an elderly person dear to our heart. Today I had this happen in a nursing home. Pack up a few things so my friends room could be re arranged. An hour at the most.
4 ..yes 4 hours later I drove home.
I was so thankful she remembered stories of precious items she had.
There is no family to visit her. So she has become "ours." When you feel your life has no purpose I urge you to become a listener. People feel valued when they are heard. Speaking and sharing continues to stimulate their mind.
My plan today was not God's plan.
His was way better♡

Have you ever had a moment when you totally forgot your loved one suffered from this disease. For just a brief time your heart felt lighter and you could breathe a bit easier? It happens once in a great while and I believe its a gift from God. A reminder to us we dont carry this, He does. It would be good to remember that on heavy days.

How many emotions can a caregiver go through in one day?
Its like riding a carousel, up, down all around. Which emotions are alright to have? All of them!
Remember there is no map to guide you through this tough journey but you can pick up ideas along the way. Check out the many sites about Alzheimers and Dementia. Share stories with one another. Its a place to laugh and cry.
Knowing someone else rides this carousel at the same time you do can ease the up's and downs. You can do this! Feel free to share here if you need a heart that understands.
