“How to care for the caregiver,” Tip #5. ? Life can feel overwhelming to the caregiver, such that even finding and enlisting help may only add to the overwhelm. ? So this tip is also poignant but simple: Offer the caregiver a specific resource. Maybe it’s giving them the Alzheimer’s Association’s 24/7 Helpline (1-800-272-3900). Maybe it’s referring them to the Senior LinkAge Line (1-800-333-2433). Maybe it’s reminding them they’re not alone, and SoManyGoodbyes.com and [email protected] is also there for them. ? Whatever the resource you think would match what the caregiver may need in that moment, please be specific… and share with them the easiest way to reach out for support. ?? ?

For the time we have had the blog, I debated on whether I should post videos of my mom. People can just be downright nasty and mean. But, I also believe education requires a certain amount of transparency. And to educate, I know photos alone won't cut it. The question is how much is too much, how little is too little? I decided to start with this video. Roughly 4 or 5 years old, me feeding mom breakfast. It's from a series I used to do on my personal Facebook Page called, "Breakfast with Mom." I did it twice a week (usually). Everyone loved it. I hope you all will appreciate this, too. #ourftdjourney #ftdawareness #frontotemporaldementia #breakfastwithmom #momourftdjourney #ftdfamily #ftdcaregivers #ftddaughters #ftdsons #ftdspouse #ftdfriends #caregivingsupport #caregiverscomejoinus #dementiaadvocate #youmattertous #yourenotalone #weseeyou #yourmentalhealthmatters #qualitytimewithmom #feedingmom #caregivinglife #musicfordementia #headphonesfordementia #dementia #dementiaeducation #dementiaawareness #dementiasupport

Pressure. It weighs heavily on the shoulders of caregivers, an unrelenting force that can shroud even the brightest days in darkness. The pressure to be perfect, to meet every need, to hold it all together—this is the daily reality for those walking the path of caregiving. In the quiet moments, when the world seems to pause, guilt whispers insidiously, reminding them of what they think they should be doing. Fear lurks in the shadows, a constant companion, as they grapple with the uncertainty of the future and the profound changes in their loved ones. Isolation becomes an all-too-familiar friend; they often find themselves alone in a crowded room, yearning for connection yet feeling unable to reach out. They carry the burden of unspoken struggles—the sleepless nights, the moments of doubt, the heart-wrenching decisions that must be made. Tasked with navigating the complex labyrinth of responsibilities, they frequently put their own needs on hold. In this relentless pursuit of care, they forget that they are their own most precious resource. But they do not have to bear this weight alone. Just as the strength of a community can uplift them, so too can a communal outlet provide the space to reveal their internal battles and daily challenges. In these moments of sharing, they can find solace; they can remind one another that it is okay to pause, to breathe, to lean on each other. To lean on Remo. Let us come together to forge supportive digital communities where caregivers can express their truths and find understanding. Together, we can transform this journey from one of solitary struggle into a collective act of resilience and compassion. Join me in this critical conversation, join us on Community where every caregiver feels seen, heard, and valued. There is a healing balm, there is real power of connection in caregiving. ??? #Caregiving #Community #Support #Connection #Resilience #dementiacare
