At some point it is more than we can do on our own. You'll be needing lots of sleep. Take good care of yourself. There's still some hard times ahead, I know.

Close Dementia
We moved my mother in with us 2 1/2 years ago. I kept taking her to her dr and he just said she was old and that she was't depressed even though she has buried all but two of her family members, myself and my oldest brother. I changed dr and found out she has dementia. Some days it is hard becasue she has that little girl look in her eyes and other just a blank stare-- she knows me but not any important days one time she told a friend of hers she didn't live with me--that hurt.
