Support for the caregiver

It seems as I experience this myself and look around at others who are giving care to someone with dementia that it is critical to have enough support for oneself. Some people find a therapist or support group helpful. What I have implemented is a spiritual director/life coach. This relationship helps me from becoming discouraged and helps me to find hope for us in this situation. One I can unequivocably recommend is Richard Kiefer at http://www.sojournersguide.com/. Another is Shirley Edwards at 415-215-5018. Whatever support one needs, it is imperative to find it.
