primary caregivers display behaviours of loved ones
caring for elders with various stages of dementia, parkinsons asked myself time and again
the couple who continues to care for each other the one diagnosed with parkinsons influences the one without
for example: losing the voice, the couple that used to chat non-stop and due to the parkinsons neither of the two ever have a conversation
even when seperated the woman of the couple who has no limitations to verbalize in conversation is very silent just like the man who is truely unable to talk due to the parkinsons
the first marriage i spent several years of "uncoupling"
from that relationship i learned that his habits were becoming mine
he is not demented
now working with familes who are in need of a respite worker its interesting to
observe some of the very same dynamics in relationships between married couples
the stories of real life experiences here are a real encouragement to continue to
consider the future of healthcare
a true adventure is the journey of healthcare
observations lead to more questions
answers that confuse
personally i believe there is no easy answer to this
