Caring for someone with Dementia can be so challenging because people are all different and brain changes progress in all kinds of ways. Your loved one's symptoms will be different than mine and we are dealing with more than 120 diagnosis which are causing the problems in the first place. Today we are doing to look back at several of my "What If" situations to help you find your way when it happens to you. Remember to take a deep breath and pause before you make the situation worse. We can frequently join them on their journey with love and kindness if we can control how we react to each situation. Will there be surprises? Absolutely! Will there be tears of joy and sadness? Yes, that too! Can you survive the challenge ahead of you? I believe you can!! Let's get started learning to accept and agree, validate and de-escalate, before we redirect them back to a happier time and place. You Got This!!
