COPING WITH CARE OF A LOVED ONE ON THE DEMENTIA ROAD

Through my strong Christian faith, wisdom and knowledge I am totally depending on my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He has given me the strength and courage needed to face the challenges that I am facing. Knowing the powerful truth that I am never alone by placing my trust in God and knowing that all things are possible! He has surrounded me with strong believers as well as family and friends who are very supportive, encouraging and who have surrounded me with prayer and support. Trusting in the word has lighten my burden tremendously. It has been working for me and my spouse. God has calmed my fears and answered my questions through prayers. Yes, he has helped me to be doubly thankful for the privilege and power of prayer. Above all I am thankful for the gift of his presence and knowing that he is watching over my situation. I know that God is not our last hope, but that he is our only hope as I work through the challenges of having a love one on Dementia Road. I pray that my personal experience will help others who are facing the same challenges or other issues along with the hardships of this devastating disease called Dementia.
