From people who came through it
“This time last year I was exactly where you are. Back then it was power of attorney paperwork. These days I mostly feel like me. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.”
Hector from Norfolk V · been through caring for someone with dementia“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.”

Swathi from Vadodara S · been through caring for someone with dementia“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”
