We tryed to help my..Dad he was caring for mother ...it killed him in the end ...my mom is in a carehome now at 90 she had pnewmonia ..got over it in last stage ....caregivers take care of you---- you could go first!!!
I took care of my Mother for 8 years . When she lost the ability to walk I lasted two months. Last time we went to the hospital the Social Worker would not let her come home with me unless I had a 24/7 nurse on hand so She's in a home now . At first I felt like I failed . Now I understand that if I brought her home I probably would not be here now. She was sleeping 20 hours a day and I was going 20 hours a day. my health was failing faster than hers.
My mother is 89 and violent. She refuses water and food now. Really horrible things she says. She's been in mental ward for 6 weeks, no one will take her, she's actually frightening. She had mental illness before the dementia. We don't know where we go from here.
Hello, I can recommend mykotherapy medicinal mushrooms to at least calm down the symptoms. I have tried them with my husband just a few weeks and it helps, he's still reasonable and more awake mentally. Do some research on e.g. Reishi or Lions Mane with dementia, but you can even find some others in your local forest. Greetings from Germany!

Excellent talk, thank you.
