[quote=Anonymous]This is OP- thanks for the suggestions. She is very involved in her assisted living community and participates in at least one activity with others daily, she also has friends nearby and has visitors frequently. But when she gets down she says she feels like a burden to others and like she has nothing to contribute. She works really hard at being positive 85% of the time- but says sometimes she just needs to be honest and say how hard it is and how frustrating it is not to be able to walk, eat or dress w/o help. She has tremors and writing or using technology has also become difficult. Im more looking for suggestions on processing these feelings with her. She has been diagnosed with mild depression and is taking medication, her Dr updated her dosage this week so that may help some. [/quote]
