"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."

The best caregivers are not stoic or detached. They embrace sensitivity and empathy. They exude #kindness. Connection is power to lift up those who need and deserve support.

It is completely normal and appropriate to grieve the life you led -- and expected to lead -- before caregiving. Your pain is valid and you deserve support.

There is nothing funny about #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia, but people with these conditions and their loved ones who are #caregiving often find humor can help keep their relationships from becoming purely task-oriented and all about the disease.

As carers, we strive to be kind to our loved ones and to everyone else who provides them support. Sometimes, we need a gentle reminder to give ourselves the same #kindness.

As carers, it is all too easy to be overwhelmed by the tasks, the seemingly endless tasks. As much as possible, we try to remember that the best support we can provide comes down to #kindness, love, and acceptance.

As carers, all too often we are worn down and overwhelmed by stress. Looking for those tiny moments of joy, awe and peace can help us regain a measure of strength and calm.

Especially in the early stages, a person living with #Alzheimers disease or another form of #dementia may not need your #caregiving, but they will need your support. Rather than treating them as dependent, empower them to get the most from their own abilities.

Good #caregiving focuses on what people living with #Alzheimers disease or other forms of #dementia can do (rather than what they cannot). Offer encouragement, build confidence, share love.

All too often caregiving means being subjected to the judgement of people who haven’t walked a mile in your shoes. "Keep walking because you don’t have a single thing to prove to anyone else.”
