“I go to work to get away.” A lady in the support group I lead admitted rather sheepishly.
Caring for a loved one is very tiring and trying. A loved one with Alzheimer’s, that needs constant supervision, is even more of a trial.
Caregiving cannot be a lone support. Don’t be afraid to admit you need help and to ask for it.
We all need a break. Whether it’s to work, to go shopping, to do something special for ourselves or be pampered. Don’t be afraid to get away.
No one can go 24/7 without becoming exhausted, depressed and eventually physically ill.
I enjoy reading the blog Living in the Shadows of Alzheimer’s. While documenting her life with her husband that has Alzheimer’s, Sherri often reminds herself {and her readers} to take time to Pause, Praise and Pray.
How do you take time to pause, praise and pray?
