Caregiving when your loved one doesn't know you

Posted Feb 10 2009 12:41pm
It is tough to be caregiver when the loved one (in my case an elderly dad) suddenly does not know who I am.

I am sure others have gone through this. My job is not to share memories today. It is just to care for him. He needs me. I cannot be selfish.

I guess I just did not realize until right now how much I needed him to be my dad.

More later. Peace out.
