"As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free." Dr. Martin Luther King
Is it possible for the mind to be enslaved by our caregiving? Unfortunately, yes. Caregiving can be consuming. We can become obsessed with it. Taking responsibility for another person is a staggering thing. I had wanted to have the services and details done in a prompt fashion, but schedules precluded the burial until yesterday. There are still death certificates to deliver, and a sorting out of finances -- how will finances be for me now? But, then, this part is finished.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
