Caring for my mom Member since June 30, 2010Hello, my Mom took care of my Grandmother and her Cousin who both had dementia [Alzheimer's]. We all were so oblivious to just what it was she was going through as she really didn't share how difficult it was or accept help. Now that my sisters and I are having to provide care for our Mom I see that it was not so much her desire "not to complain" as it may have been her fear that it could happen to her also. This disease is so taboo and carries such a stigmatism most do not want to even acknowledge it. I have found that it is so much easier admitting it exists, there is a grave potential that someday I could be affected. I am planning now for my own care.
