Disparaging Looks

It hurts too, to see a loved

It hurts too, to see a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s. For me, the hardest part is when they look at you and cannot figure out who you are. I feel like I could cry. Bu you have to live with that every day if you care for them. The brief comforts are when they are finally at ease. Alzheimer’s patients look ok one minute, and then lost in the very next. I put myself in their shoes and I just wonder how they manage. But they do not have a choice, really. They are victims, and so are you for being related. And you cannot run way from it any more than they can. You must stand and face it, caring for them as much you can. As a caregiver for someone who suffers from Alzheimers disease you must realize that they have no place else to turn. You are their father now, and their mother. Just as they must have cared for you at one time, you are now saddled with the responsibility of caring for them. Don’t shy away from that responsibility or else you would not be doing right by them. I wouldn’t quite say that you should have no shiny surface around a person suffering from Alzheimers disease. However I would have you know that they tend to see these surfaces as wet ones and might want to avoid. Its just one tip for caring for such patients. You will need to install some good lighting in your home if you are bringing home an Alzheimers disease patient. You should see to it also that your lighting goes without a lot of glare too. These patients misrepresent things, but this kind of light will reduce misperception.
