In this article, I aim to shed light on the risks related to caregiving for those with Alzhemer’s or other forms of dementia, enhancing understanding and awareness, and providing practical ways to mitigate them. My purpose is not to overwhelm or discourage those who have taken on this noble and essential task but to arm them with knowledge and strategies to navigate these uncharted waters more effectively.
From managing chronic stress to confronting false accusations from a hallucinating loved one, let us explore how we can better equip ourselves in our caregiving journey. Remember, knowledge is not just power; it is also the key to resilience, endurance, and maintaining the dignity and quality of life for ourselves and those we care for.
