How do I cope when both parents are developing dementia?

My mom and dad are both getting dementia, mom more so than dad. I am all alone taking care of them since my sister passed away I have no one to help me with daily chores...they still live alone but I have to consider what I should do about me quiting my job and taking on the full time job of taking care of them. I get sad and frustrated at them both..how do I deal with my feelings.

Dealing with your feelings will be an ongoing process, and my heart goes out to you. Dementia support groups help, and friends online. Many resources are available to you, prayer being the greatest.

If you quit your job, who will care for you as you care for them? God bless you in your journey, and know you're not alone. Sending you hugs and prayers.
