โIf 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.โ
โThis 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.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
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
