Dear Caregivers
Writing this is not to advertise for ADA ( Alzheimer Disease Association), but is to share with other caregivers like myself...taking care of my dad on my own.
I believe all of you will know that it is very stressful to take care of a demented dad and at the time have to work for a living.
It is better of us to take good care of ownself or else we will be in IMH earlier than our loved ones.
Do go for the Caregiver Support Group. I realised that a lot of people are still not aware of the resources available in Singapore or the stigma...and are not willing to attend any Support Group that is available in Singapore.
I personally have been going attending the support group for almost 6 years, whenever I attended one...I feel relieved and destressed...as though that I have been to a spa for a massage session.
Try to be friend with some of the carer especially those are positive. We carer need to be positive or else .....
Cheers.
