Dear Rosie, how wise you are. Trying to live a normal life is impossible when you care for someone with Dementia. It is easier and less stressful to give in to living a strange and surreal life. I realise now how many adaptations I have made to accommodate my husband's increasingly bizarre world. I am constantly adapting and I love your new approach and I am sure it well help.I had a realisation today as I was trying to persuade my husband to get in the car to go home - and getting quite stressed about it.
I'm still trying to have a 'normal' life !!!!
So what if he damages / breaks all the thinks we have looked after for years - they are his !!
So what if he eats snacks all day and wont eat dinner - he is an adult and has a choice !!
So what if everything get 'put away' - hes always been the tidy one
So what if he shouts at me when I'm trying to help
So what !!
