I'm not sure what has changed, but things are better for me and my husband. Maybe it's because he's been on the new medication for a couple of months, and it's starting to "kick in". Maybe because I am learning how to cope better. Mostly, I think it's all the prayers being said for us. I am calmer and am able to deal with things better. I am working with the case manager and our LTC insurance to get some help so I can go back to work, even if it's just parttime. The extra $$ would be great, of course, and will help me pay for my private health insurance if I can get it, but it will get me out among other people for more than the hour or two I get a week at church. Thank you all for caring! God bless!

I am a caregiver of my elderly grandpa who has dementia. My experience with him is that he is a bully and he verbally attacks me on a daily basis. I have to walk on eggshells around him and I walk around the house in trepidation that he may "snap" into a violent outburst and attack me. I find solace by sitting outside in the patio getting some fresh air. and doing some gardening in his backyard. I also give my problems to my higher power aka "God". It seems to help. I don't respect my grandpa anymore. Maybe it is his illness, his character, or a combination of everything. All I know is that I have a duty to fullfill and I consider grandpa a "job".

Thank you so much, lwsalee. You certainly have had your trials, and I admire that you can continue to have faith in God. I, too, try to pray for everyone who is dealing with this nightmare. God bless.

for you scared I will be praying for you every day because each dqy is going to be a different task so many unreal thing will happen i thought about writing a book on this terrible disease and you know it seem like every boby is getting it and there is no cure in sight. My husband has two children by his first marriage and they do absolute nothing to help me out his daughter dont even come by to see him . let me tell you this you are going to have days when you are up and when you are going to be down but try to stay focus so you will be able to help your self don;t give up because God say he would not put more on us than we can bear and i believe in him and i believe you don to.So stand fast on his word believe he will bring this to past. I think every day this could have been me and that someone could be hating that they have to drop part or all their life to care for me it's a hard task but we are going to be ok. I took care of my mother for nine years from 1991 until 2000. and my husband got it in 2006 so you can see i have not had a real break nor have i had a joyful marriage i got married in 1998 when I was married 8 years when he came down with this terrible disease. My husband was a preacher for 43 years but only God has the answer. I love you and i'm praying for you as well as other CAREGIVERS who are dealing with the same problem we are be blessed.

Thank you very much, lwrsalee. I appreciate your comments and prayers because without prayer, we are all doomed!

i know what you are talking about and i have been in your situation where there is no where or nobody to turn to and i had to pray for strength and ask the Lord to give me a avenue so i could get some relief. I do get a little help from my daughter which is not enough. but you are going to have to take care of your self. It going to be an up hill journey and it is very hard on you. My husband has 2 children they don't give me any help. but i am looking for a day care center to put him in a few hours through the week so maybe that will be a help to me .MY ON ADVICE TO YOU is to find some one who can relieve you a few hours a day because this is a very stressful situation. My heart goes out to you and i will be praying that you be successful in finding some help because this is one journey that you can;t go through by your self

I have just begun the struggle as a caregiver and I am already burned out...I am ready to run...I don't know what I'm going to do or how I'm going to continue to cope as my husband's condition continues to decline. I try to pray, I try to vent, I try to walk, but being in the situation 24/7 with no help and no one to really talk to (not just vent online), no one to distract me from the reality of this, is quickly taking its toll. I cry at the drop of a hat, I don't want to do anything....all signs of depression, but I have been down that road before, and meds are not the answer for me....too many side-affects, too much dependency....I just don't know what to do. I just don't.
