alzheimers

Being a caregiver is a rewarding (but sometimes tough) role, and it can be extra challenging especially during the holiday season when the external demands are heightened.

What do you find to be the hardest part about being a caregiver this time of year? What tips do you have for other caregivers who are also navigating the holiday season?

💜 P.S. We hope you can take a little time for yourself to rest and recharge.

My husband and I attend the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Saturday. We raised $675.00! The local chapter raised $125,000.00 so far for this years walk. The weather was perfect, lots of attendees young and old plus the four legged kind, music, snacks, give aways, and lots of fun.

I love Fall! That time of year for harvest, bon fires, soccer games (grandson), cool weather, and leaves turning brilliant colors. What is your favorite part of Fall?

What are you planning on doing today? I went to the grandchildren’s house and helped get them up, fed, dressed, and out the door on time. Of course we had to stop and “save” the upside down grasshopper before we could get in the car. I’ve had breakfast and trying to get the motivation to get on the treadmill, ugh. I have my memory loss art class today and that is usually fun. ❤️😁

If you or you know someone diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia, there is a group to give and receive support from others with the diagnosis. Join me at Living With Alzheimer’s.😁❤️

As a person with the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, I had a wish that there would be a group for those diagnosed to support one another. So I started one! Join me on The Mighty group “Living With Alzheimer’s”. It’s for those with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other dementias. ❤️😁

What an exhausting 8 days! I’m spent mentally, emotionally, and physically. I’m so tired I can’t sleep and that just compounds the exhaustion. Tomorrow I’m going to do NOTHING! Thanks for listening!❤️
