On the alzheimers. Org site, local chapter. There are all kinds of resources. There is a caregiver support page too.

Time. It just took time for me. A lot of creative thinking to yourself. I wrote a list of things that helped me accept what was happening. I don’t go on Facebook as much because it is hard to see what everyone is doing. We absolutely can’t travel or even go out to dinner. I still have my bad days but I have developed a routine that helps make it easier. If you’re not a caregiver it’s hard to understand what you are going through. I get a lot of. “He looks so good!” As if nothing is wrong. If they only knew. It’s a journey for sure. You’ll never be the same but you will be so proud of yourself for what you have done for your loved one. I’ll never have any regrets. I sometimes feel guilty that I don’t plan “activities” for Dan, my husband. He has trouble walking and with balance. He uses a walker. By the time I get him up, dressed, cleaned, fed, and doing the laundry that’s been soiled, I’m tired. He is content, clean, and feels safe and secure. I don’t know what could be better than that. My heart goes out to you but you will find you are stronger than you think💕

You don't really get over it. You do learn how to live with it and how to handle it. It is a process of learning and accepting that the monster is taking over and that it is not his fault. We are here for you.

How would I find a good therapist?

Thank you Anna!
