The Road Is Long

"Faith is taking the first step even when you cannot see the whole staircase."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Caregiving for someone with dementia can last for just a little while, or for a very long time.  A very long time is the more common.  It was 8 years from his diagnosis to his death.  Mayo Clinic had given us brochures which said Lewy Bodies Dementia usually lasts from 3-5 years after diagnosis til death.  Whatever the length of time, it will sometimes seem very long.  It is so important that you have the support you need for the journey.
