Hi Katy,
First of all, welcome Caring's groups. I'm really glad you joined us!
I'm so sorry you're dealing with your own illness and now your mom's. Caring.com has some information about Lewy Body dementia that may help you understand it.
While I don't have great advice to share from my personal experience, I completely understand the fear of the future. Take one day at a time. Heck, one minute at a time, if you have too. In the meantime, I'm hoping someone else in a similar situation posts to give your specific advice.
We're here for you, Katy, if even to listen when you're stressed. Keep us updated!
Hi Katy, and welcome. While I can't address the illness your mother has directly, I do want to welcome you to the site and know that we're here to listen!
