Elizabeth and Teepa, thank you so much for this video! Teepa, I have just gone off the cliff again! You are very successfully helping me to not condemn and beat myself up as I endeavor to support someone, but to learn from the experience, re-strategize and keep on going. God has given you a tremendous gift of understanding, and you are helping those you teach to truly "love one another." May God bless you abundantly.
Gosh rhis really resonated with me. I cared for my mum three years she was difficult stubborn and angry...now thanks to you I understand why....I never got any help had frequent hospital visits...having to leave work for various falls etc....it took me down stressed me out and my mental health took a battering...taken me a long time to recover....Still have triggers now...wish I had known where to find help. Lost my daughter mum relationship and just became someone to get things done. Makes me sad looking back for both of us.......Teepa you are amazing..really appreciate your advice... My hubby is now seven years in on his Parkinsons journey so hope I have learned from past experience...God Bless you. X
Thank you for your comment. Each person with dementia is so unique and Teepa really does give us some great strategies. While I'm not caring for someone with dementia currently, I find her advice also applies for my brother who has a developmental and intellectual disability. No guilt on the past. More grace. When we know better we do better and the systems in place don't really help family caregivers. We just get thrown in the deep end of the pool and have to start to tread water while managing life.
My husband wanted to know what was going on with him. We get a CT scan it shows shrinking in 2 parts of the brain. So we go to a Nero doctor and she does no testing she tells him that because of what kind of job he did 25 years ago that her test would not work. So she tells him to go to another doctor. But he got so angry that she just shoved him to someone else that he refused to go.. then we see a report she sent to his primary doctor that said he is at high risk of vascular dementia. But never told us. But his primary doctor has him on some treatment to help to hold off the dementia. What made me upset is that she never talked to him.. now he says I just want to life until I can't anymore...I hurt for him.. but teepa I am deep breathing...
I wish every carer had Teepa’s knowledge and skill. What an awesome lady who should have every government in the world adopt her teaching. Elderly would be so looked after, instead of feeling frustrated, lonely and invisible.
So much learning! Thank you for explaining the real reality of caregiving!

Thinking of you. Our healthcare system needs more dementia education (I'll add neurodivergent education, too).
I wish every carer had Teepa’s knowledge and skill. What an awesome lady who should have every government in the world adopt her teaching. Elderly would be so looked after, instead of feeling frustrated, lonely and invisible.
You are SO intelligent 🙏❤️
@@happyhealthycaregiver I pray to God that caregivers are watching Her. 🙏
