"Don't think of people with #dementia as not having abilities. They have an ability to feel and interact and we need to try and enter into their world."

Sometimes, one of the best ways we can reassure our loved ones living with #dementia is to let them see our flaws and vulnerabilities. We can't always give perfect care but we can strive to give unrelenting #kindness.

I am striving every moment to emulate the #kindness, wisdom, determination, and resilience with which my late mom and dad lived their remarkable lives. They are gone too soon but their memories remain as a blessing.

At its heart, good #caregiving is about letting go of our own expectations and finding ways to offer the support our loved ones deserve and value.

What we commonly call #dementia "behaviors" actually are communication about confusion, pain, distress, or for other wants or needs to be addressed. We must view them compassionately and listen for the message.

Sometimes #caregiving is about the chores: medications, money, meals, bathing, and more. But, in the quiet moments between the chores, it also can be about giving and sharing comfort, peace of mind, dignity, #kindness and love.

Heartfelt condolences from the entire #Alzheimers community to the #Springsteen family. The deeper the love, the greater the loss. May Adele rest in peace and may your memories of her be a blessing to you. https://cnn.com/2024/02/01/entertainment/bruce-springsteen-mother-song-death
