Caregiver01.. You are in such a difficult spot..It is often so hard to "Please" Everyone.. But you do have a responsibilty, just like a "Boss" Not everyone is going to like your choices.. When a parent has Alzheimers you become there "Voice", Whatever you think they would want or wish for, is what you need to follow.. I have noticed many times, siblings seem to engage in wars, it goes with different beliefs, moods, feelings, pain and hurt.. What you need to do (In my opinion) Is simply say, as much as I would love to make everyone happy, I need to follow what I believe the person who put me in charge would want.. Best wishes to you!
Hello. New to this site and have a couple of questions. What did/do you do when a family member (spouse/brother/sister) is not supportive to the decisions you have to make for an Alzheimers patient/parent? I have tried to make the right decisions for everyone involved but I do not have support from the family - especially the ones closest to me. I am a Christian and live by Christian values. I am also the POA for the patient and ultimately have the final sayso concerning health care decisions. Can you offer suggestions based on successful family experiences you have had dealing with an Alzheimers patient/parent? God bless! ..... and thanks for listening.
