I have so much admiration for all you out there i have lived with this for four years and running out of steam how do people cope year after year I have had enough already and know there is a long road ahead but at the moment can not bear the thought of years and years ahead having a bad week
You'll get used to it, tuffydawn. No, it won't be easy, but you will learn to adapt.
I currently cherish that my husband has been in excellent care for the last four months. I'm having to prepare my mind to possibly bring him back home due to the cost of that care and us really not being able to afford it. If he comes back home, there's a chance we will at least be warm and fed over the winter! The rest, I'll have to re-learn to take in my stride. If anything, dementia does one of two things to the carer: it either brings us down with an almighty crash, or it makes us extremely strong. I opt to stay strong, as I've had long enough to recuperate.
Whatever advice you feel you need yourself, just stick to this forum like glue and you'll get loads of support. All the very best to you and your loved one, xx
