One of my grandmothers went through a similar situation, and my heart ached to see her go through such a difficult time. I am grateful to be part of the EldercareABC community to share supportive ideas and help ease our eldercare journeys.

My grandmother was my grandfather's primary caregiver throughout the 6 years that he suffered from Alzheimer's. There toward the end of his life when my grandfather was especially hard to handle my grandmother had lost around 30 lbs & was barely sleeping. We as family members can try our best to help out, but in the end it is the caregiver themselves who must realize that if they don't take time to care for themselves, they will not adequately be able to care for another. Thanks again for all the great tips, especially the relaxation therapy video! Here are some additional tips I ran across on a similar post. Thank you for all these wonderful tips.
