Tea Time at Alzheimer’s Notes – Caregivers Sharing

Tea time is a sharing time so I’ll be sharing my thoughts and those of readers who contribute through their comments. We’re sitting down to a “virtual” tea party and finding encouragement from one another in the Alzheimer’s caregiver journey.
Dixie left this message, and I think many of you can relate:
I am a nurse at an Alzheimer’s Care facility.
I see the daily struggles and heartache that families go through. I have always thought that Alzheimer’s is one of the diseases that affects the whole family-perhaps more so than any other, on so many levels.
It is true that Alzheimer’s affects family members differently and on many levels. Each one struggles with this illness in their own way. It’s also comforting to realize that nurse caregivers, like Dixie, have an understanding of what families are going through and thus can help them cope.
Join our tea parties and share with us in the comments below.
