Thanks for writing this article, Judi, and for keeping everyone who cares about you updated on the changes you're experiencing. I want to share with you that I think you managed to build something really helpful, especially the 13 suggestions for communicating with your loved one who's struggling with change. When I was working in senior living, my favorite part was the time I committed weekly to our Memory Care community, and somehow your article swept me back to that time. I think it was your list and the useful approach /angle to tapping down frustrations to ‘meet them where they are.' Sit, nod, listen, distract, and feel grace expand. This is a keeper.
Cindy - what a nice comment. Your feedback means a lot to me. You help me feel a bigger part of our community. I know how much you care about this population and appreciate your attention to them.
