[quote=Anonymous]Just go. It’s about them, not about you. Sorry that’s harsh but it’s true. When a loved one has a terrible illness like dementia, it’s likely not going to be a pleasant visit. Just do it anyway. It helps the person w dementia and their caregivers as well and it’s the right thing to do. Bring pictures, bring music, bring something you can watch together (video, tv show), bring a game to play (if they can do this). You don’t even have to talk much. My relative w dementia loves looking at pictures of the kids and watching I love Lucy and playing solitaire (we play together) and going for walks.[/quote]
