[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my grandmother and my mother had dementia. None of this is funny. [/quote] It is completely normal for people to cope with humor. When I worked on an oncology unit some of the most incredible and compassionate oncologists had a dark sense of humor. "I just ruined another mother's life!" "Oh and guess what...he needs a none marrow transplant...you're welcome." They were not laughing at people's pain. They were not laughing at people's pain or trying to be cruel and demeaning. They were trying to cope with a horribly emotionally painful profession. As long we treat the person kindly, caregivers have a right to cope in whatever way works as long as they are not harming their bodies (e.g. drugs and alcohol) or harming someone else. Clearly this form of humor does not help for you. I suggest you not read this thread. It is for people it find it helpful to blow off steam.[/quote]
