Dementia IRL

I’m starting this blog because I need a place to write about what its like to live with someone with dementia. Outside of therapy sessions or caregiver support groups. A place where I can talk honestly about my feelings for any given situation, especially on those days when I am not feeling my most caring and compassionate self.

Caring for someone with any form of dementia is difficult. Since my spouse and I have been caring for my mother-in-law, who lives with us, we have come up with ways to creatively handle a lot of the obstacles that come our way. As we continue to navigate this journey the next few years, it is my hope that this blog will become a resource and a place for sharing information for friends, family, and caregivers like us.

I hope you will join us.
