For many who give care, there is no choice, no support, no respite. They survive, but cannot thrive. As a society, we owe them more than encouragement and gratitude. We owe them the resources to make practical decisions about how care is accomplished.

When we offer care and support to people facing any of life’s myriad challenges, we lift ourselves up at the same time.

Self care can feel impossible. Worse, yet, it can feel like a betrayal of our commitment to give care or a betrayal of our loved one. For our own wellbeing and that of our loved one, self care is not a choice. Self care is a necessity.

We can — we must — keep alive the memories of those taken by #dementia.

Until there is a cure, we all can begin with compassion, care and #kindness.

#Caregiving is a master class in humility. We learn that we cannot fix every problem, can't meet every need. So much is beyond our control and more things change than remain reliable. What we can give relentlessly, deeply and tenderly is our #love.

The goal of good #caregiving isn't just to perform tasks, it is to support quality of life.

At its core, good #caregiving is about finding a way to communicate — listening, watching and empathizing — to learn and respond to what the other person wants, needs and feels.

Each moment is precious and precarious, so live each moment fully out of respect for all that has preceded and all that will follow.

Among the hardest -- and most important -- things to do when facing #dementia is to keep your heart kind toward yourself and toward your loved ones. You can. You must. With #empathy, you will.

There is nothing funny about #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia, but people with these conditions and their loved ones who are #caregiving often find humor can help keep their relationships from becoming purely task-oriented and all about the disease.
