[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, op. For me, my loved one with dementia was always fairly anxious and paranoid, so that hasn't been as big a change (for better or worse). But it's hard to take on a more caretaker role with someone who was always able to take care of herself. It has been hard for our family to coordinate how to meet her needs when all the adults have full time jobs and other commitments. And it is sad to see her confused and not sure who we are or what's going on in her life and ours, and unable to do stuff she used to enjoy (play piano, mah jong, read). Dementia really sucks. [/quote] So sorry. When you say caretaker, is that in her house? I am struggling with living really far away from home, so I wouldn’t be able to be present day to day. This adds to my feelings of guilt. I also really miss the old her. What a great mom she’s been, what an amazing grandmother to my kids. [/quote]
