I need more help.

Hissha2000

I'm honestly just in need of suggestions. Both of my parents are 81 years old. My dad has dementia. My mom has other health problems. I work full time and feel like I have no time for myself.

Hissha2000, my wife and I cared for her father , 76, Parkinsonian Dementia, and my father 80 with Alzheimer. We provided care for years until their death or admission to a nursing home. The effort can easily destroy you. However, there were three things that gave us the strength and knowledge to help them

1. Alzheimer's Association, alz.org https://www.alz.org/

They offered patient AND caregiver support and services unequalled by others. You must contact them immediately.

2. Support from family and friends, emotional and otherwise

2. The Lord Jesus, gave us direction, wisdom and strength to carry on and love our parents

You can contact Him through prayer.

Now, I was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia in 2020 and we are following the same three helps. God Bless you in your efforts.
