Embracing Dementia with Love - Personal Story

ENCOUNTERING A FAMILY MEMBER WITH DEMENTIA IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TASK ONE CAN EVER TAKES. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DAY- DAY- ACTIVITY FOR THEM. THE CAREGIVER IS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THEIR MOOD CHANGE.

Often, one member of the family will assume responsibility for the person with dementia, as the main carer, while the others are unaware of the stress that this can cause. This can be particularly exhausting when the main carer has other commitments and feels pulled in different directions. The main carer should make it clear that they need regular support. They are entitled to a life of their own, and they will not be able to help anyone if they wear themselves out. The person with dementia will also benefit from the wider interaction and social contact with others.

It is usually easier for others to contribute to care if they are involved from the start. It can be a good idea to hold a family meeting at an early stage, to work out what each member of the family can realistically offer, both now and in the future. This may help to avoid later feelings of resentment or guilt.

Support might range from regular visits or help with practical tasks, such as shopping, to financial help with care services if the relative lives too far away to help directly. Remember that support can be given in a number of different ways, and does not always need to be task orientated. Sometimes a social call to share a cup of tea and have a chat can be just as beneficial as doing some shopping.

Spending quality time together to create a life history book for the person with dementia can be fun for all involved. This not only gives everyone the opportunity to explore memories and learn more about family history, but will result in an invaluable tool to support the person's care later in their dementia.

GIVE GOD THE GLORY FOR YOUR DAILY STRENGTH.
