Tuesday Dementia Training with Rachel Wiley, OTR
About the author
Dr.Chua, I just found your podcast (7 Stages) this morning. I really appreciated it. Almost 4 years ago, my husband and I moved to bring our three living parents into our home: my daddy and mom, my husband’s dad. All three had/have dementia. My mother-in-law had already passed with dementia. Yep – all four parents with dementia. Our dads passed last year; my mom, at mid-stage, remains with us. Our three goals in bringing the folks in were these: keep them as safe as we can, as healthy as we can, and laughing as much as we can. I quickly learned the words “as we can” were the most important part of our goals. We can only do our best. And, ultimately, that’s okay. God is in control. I cannot tell you all I’ve learned. I hope to eventually memoir our journey in order to help others. People ask how we’ve done this. I honestly have no answer except God. Some stages are 24/7. You understand that. The grief is immense – both the anticipatory grief with mom and the grief of the physical parting with our dads. I am, however, thankful for the eternal healing our dads (and my mother-in-law) have experienced now. And, my husband and I have no regrets.
We are exhausted beyond belief, but with no regrets. I hope you have other podcasts. I truly benefitted from some of your suggestions and information. I’m ever learning! I hope you have other podcasts.
Meanwhile, thank you. And God bless you!
