Caring for someone with dementia support in Ecuador 🇪🇨

“If you've just found this place, I was in the same place this time last year. The worst part was my siblings who live far away. I got a new job in April. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.”

“Dear 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. Hazez”

“For 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. x”

“When I was at my worst, notes like this made me angry. So I'll just say what happened to me: she accuses me of stealing her purse was my lowets point. A year later I'm ok. Far from perfect. Ok. You will be too, in your own time.”
