"Socrates, upon being told that he was the wisest man, said it probably was true, for he knew enough to know that he knew nothing." Emma Curtis Hopkins.
I went to my first support group meeting yesterday. Either the support group is oriented differently, or my expectations were flawed. I wanted and needed information on how to support me, how to survive this task of dementia caregiver. The support group lesson was on how the caregiver can extend her/his energy even further, by focusing on things one could do for the person with dementia. I'm sure there is a time and place for that information, but what I wanted to know was what supports are out there to support us both? I intend to do further research.
