Take Time for Yourself
In an airplane emergency, you're always told to secure your own oxygen mask before helping anyone else. The same goes for supporting someone with Alzheimer's. Make sure you're OK before you jump in to help. You'll be a much more effective source of care and support.
Stories from Others
I remember my father trying to help a puppy that
was hit by a car. The poor thing bit him. Instead of
being angry at the puppy, he said it wasn't the
dog's fault. It was in so much pain. I feel like
that sometimes - filled with so much pain that
I don't recognize a kind hand. — Sue Matthews Petrovski , "A
Return Journey"
