    I find that if the Client likes to sing, then that's it....We sing!!! If the Client is grumpy then I say "are we grumpy today", then that's it....we laugh and talk (change the mood)!!! It all depends on how each client feels on the day - I go with the flow of the Client!!! Yes, I am a Carer. For me, every Client is an inspiration, they have a life story to tell and its Amazing the journey they have experienced!!!!! Peace Everyone

      Thanks. My father passed away 6 months ago.
      I adapted to helping and cooking for him everyday not knowing our last meal that he would pass the next day.
      It's made me a stronger person and I'm not afraid of death now. Take care and thanks.

    I like the hope that videos allow a caregiver to have, opportunities to try another way of doing things.

    Anti depressants dont work on vascular depression. Also its obvious this is a training video and just saying a friend is visiting aint gonna get them in the shower. My Mum frequently tells me and everyone else including her best friend that she wants to be dead. Emotionally visiting my Mum is like having the emotional resilience sucked out of you by a vampire. After an afternoon i am completely exhausted and there is nothing you can do, no cure, no nothing. 😥

      Zena, I'm there with you. At least you don't live in the same house as your mom. Please take care of yourself first and then see if you can help her. I have no one to help me take my mom to the psychiatrist, so I have to leave and keep in touch from a distance. That's all that's left for me.

      @@iolantham it's so hard. My Mum had to go into a residential home after calling the police to say she had been kidnapped and then wandering and having two falls-she could no longer be left alone. She still has falls but she isn't so distressed now. Visiting has been tricky with covid but she seems to accept things more now.

      @@zenabraithwaite1934 I'm there with you. So, your mom is a bit delusional. It is a part of depression. It is good that she is in a nursing home. My mom is at home and I came to try to find a job at home, realized I couldn't find a decent job, so I have to go back to the country where I was living before. I think that in both of our cases we have to live in different homes. Arm yourself with patience when you go visit her! You'll need it. I won't have the ability to visit my mom often, as I'll be living more than 1000 mi. away. Maybe I'll see her next year. 'Till then I need to get my mental strength back and the joy I used to have. I survived 2 months and 1/2 with my mom...

    This was great, I have been researching "depression ways to beat" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Hanincoln Nanlivia Framework - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.

    I think, when we use this tips to everybody we have met in our entire life the world should be a better place :) we can do same things with our kids, treat theme with respekt but like little persons which do not understand everything, because kids also don't understand sometimes what is happening because their brains is still growing and they just learn to do things and don't catch everything just like that. Kids cannot control they fellings and sometimes do know why they feel in some way, they don't understand reasons of behaviour and just can't control needs but a lot od people yeall ad them nad asking what they doing this to me- so everything is about egoism and about how "I feelling " not the others, " World is so wrong" , "everybody wanned to hurt me"- that is a root of this violentable behaviours- yes,this is violence. We need to use our imagination to stand in others skin,but not too much-better is asking,conversating and make longterm bond. The same case what with kid is,goes with other adult people when they are facing stressfull situation like trying something new or try to understand somebodies point of view or when they wanna keept someones sympathy- The brain just stops for a moment, especially in work but in XXI century adults are always under stress,so sometimes we made mistakes- it is normal nad need solution not blaming nad yelling. agression directly to the others mistakes and blaming, that is hard violence for me. I don't know why people having so much lacs of patience and tolerance to each other. We're all a little different, we react nad solve problemy different,in different time nad steps- we cannot judge differency as innormal or wrong behaviours because we did smtn in different way. Some people think we have to catch theme point just in time, meanwhile we're dumbs or refusing and we are against them. They are many communication problems in human societies. When we have a dog some people yell at dog because dog don't wanna understand just simple thing,we forget dog doesn't understand nothing- dog also have some needs different than ours and dog doesn't understand human language. My dog is really calm when I firstable respond to my dog's needs and spend a plenty time to make dog understood a causes of my commends in clearly way and when dog feels and I do this for keep dog save not scary,so when I learn my dog some tips I'll do the same, we have together rules not only for me but risponsibility is mine, because dog cannot control good his needs, it is harder for dogs,so I must keep an eye on dog and prevent to not eat my sandwich for ex,so I will not leave a sandwich on the table close to dog and then blame a dog,maybe dog understood a sandwich is for him. A lot of people treat others by not giving to them just one chance to explain something, they don't wanna understand, they know better what is good for them, what is going one, what they think, what they want or what they wanna to say. I know why all this is happening. That is happend because we allow to our selfs to carry and keep pain and fears. We don't tell anybody,we pretend strong and happy. Communication is really important to understand. When I to with my dog nad some people say to me: I am terryfied becouse 20 years ago one dog bite me,I know what I have to do,but sometimes they cannot communicate because affraid is make turn off theire brains and they to aggresive. They do not understand ad the moment that it is not the same dog nad situation- similary to others situations going people act agresive and blame each other for things which theire fellings it imagination did to them. Agression is cause of agression for many ears after when we allow for this and keep bad things in mind without recognising them. So think twice before you yell or blame someone for pain for sure you keep inside. Even when someone made some mistakes blaming is not a solution it just making problem deeper nad transfering to anothe in this way: my boss tell at me do I will yelling for my husband, he goes to reload on his co-workers and they take this agression to their homes , everything goes affcours for kids and they learn agresive behaviours. It is Time to take a risponsibility for one fellings. We have to control them and reloud in a healthy way like sport not eating it shopping, reloud emotions not go after them, give them a leadership. This what we feelling is not what is happend,is not a truth. When we realizm this is easier to controlling.
