โDear stranger, i was in the same place nearly four years ago. She accuses me of stealing her purse. That was my life. Last month I had people round for dinner. The bad days get further apart. One day at a time.โ
โFor whoever is where I was: I was right where you are a few years back. I remember finding the gas on like it was yesterday. I laugh properly again. xโ
โHi, you. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The care home waiting list. That was my life. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart.โ
โDear friend, If you're just starting out with dementia care, I want to say this: feeling angry and sad is normal. It doesn't make you a bad person. The sundowning hours are the toughest, but each evening ends. When help comes, take it, even if it's just a small thing. And look after yourself, because you can't pour from an empty cup. I'm still learning that. You've got company in this. Hazezโ
