It’s always nice to spend time with friends and family, but it’s also nice to have your home to yourself again. That’s how I feel tonight! After fighting the cold (no snow though) I had Christmas Eve and got my Mom out for the first time since Thanksgiving for Christmas Day. It’s really difficult to get her into the car and all that…and with the freezing weather, it is just too hard on her.

But you hear the older ones saying things that really make you think. You can tell by how they talk and statements they make that they really love being around the family. I think they know they might not make it another year so they relish the time they have.

What did you do with your holidays. How did you cope? Anything you want to talk about — just comment below.

Subject: Survey for “Find A Cure” re: Alzheimer’s & get $25 donated

SURVEY – Get $25 donated to Alzheimer’s non-profit..

News and opportunity to caregivers…
Here’s an email I received:

“Your Caregiver Group on FB is really great. Thank you for providing this forum and support system. I work for a company called FIND A CURE PANEL and am the Director for AlZHEIMERs.

We have an Alzheimer’s caregivers research study coming up, so I’m reaching out to people who are involved in this field.

Find A Cure Panel specializes in finding respondents to take market research surveys in serious diseases including Alzheimer’s. This includes patients as well as caregivers.

For every completed survey, we donate a minimum of $25 to an Alzheimer’s related non profit. So, it’s a pretty great program where everyone benefits.”

Any caregiver will have days when they feel depressed, unwanted, and unloved. It is just a natural aspect of caring for elderly. The world seems to pass you by as you spend almost every waking moment thinking or doing for your ill parent.

Perhaps the best thing we can do is work from home if possible, stay away from crowds whenever possible, and to wash your hands. Click on the video below which is one of the 33 videos in ‘Caring For Your Loved One At Home’ series which will become available the middle of September.
