That may sound bleak and dark, but I think that’s the reality of it.In the tradition of producing ground-breaking and game-changing drama series like “My Husband’s Lover,” “Dading,” and “The Rich Man’s Daughter”, GMA Network will air another unique character-driven story in “Destiny Rose.” Either we will have to care for them in different ways, or we will have to consider options such as euthanizing so that healthcare systems are not completely decimated keeping people alive in semiconscious states for years on end. One thing is sure, we’re going to have to find better ways of dealing with the huge numbers of people that are going to have this disease. I understand that’s not always possible but I believe that in many cases placement could be averted, or at least delayed. It can also be an act of love to ensure they have proper care in a different kind of environment.įurther, I think that if fit and healthy family caregivers were better equipped with the skills they need to deliver care easily and relatively stress-free, people with dementia could be kept for a longer time in their own homes before being placed in some kind of care facility. I also believe it can be an act of love to care for someone in their own home, even with dementia, until the very end. It was an act of self-preservation from my side, and I believe an act of greed from that of others. I had no choice because of circumstances, conditions, and barriers that had been put in place years before and were beyond my control. Each person’s and each family’s experience is unique. I don’t think placing someone is always an act of love. And it doesn’t go away, but evolves into something else, or at least it has for me… I know this anguish, I’ve been through it too. Heidi, I’m so sorry for all the pain you’re going through. This is a very tough disease, and I agree that there are not enough support resources to help the millions of people that will try to do the same thing my Mother is. Mom, tries to use your BANGS technique as much as possible to avoid many arguments, but he does get fixated on things and most of the time our white lies and subject changing don’t work to change his fixation. he struggles with eating and showering as I see most do during this stage. Currently she keeps a schedule that keeps him occupied with house chores and other activities to keep him busy, otherwise he sits and thinks, gets very confused about where he is, etc.
And do you have any suggestions for how we can convince her to move forward with at least one person to come in. Based on your comments about in house care, how many people do you think it should really take to provide care? I worry about her health.

We watch her struggle in tears almost every day, as she mourns the person he no longer is, unable to accept how to cope in new ways. I cannot convince her to bring help in the house. We visit every other weekend, as we do not live close, and Do video calls every night. My Mother is the primary caregiver and insists she will take care of him at home.
Susan, my father has AD, that was diagnosed a little over 1 year ago. I invite you to share the links widely, but please do not reprint or reblog or copy and paste my poems into other social media without my permission. Even when the sun sets, beauty lingers in the afterglow. This poem is about the changing seasons of life, experiencing sorrow, and finding joy in unexpected places. November 16, 2015: Despite the tears and sorrow infused in passing years, I am grateful for the joy and tender moments I found, and continue to find, in the ebb and flow of the days, weeks, and months of our journey.
