A beautiful letter that also resonated with me. Thanks for sharing, Anna and Victoria.
Both of my parents also have dementia, and my youngest brother was fully disabled and needed round the clock care until he passed away aged 37. There was a lot in your story Anna that I recognised in ours and I'm glad you and your loved ones are in a stronger place now.
Anna, such a beautiful family. I see such positive energy and joy in your eyes. Your letter hits home on so many levels.
In caring for my mom, I have learned to take time for myself, hold boundaries so that when I'm with her, I can give her my full heart and attention. It's a tough balance as our children never quite stop needing us and the sandwich continues.
I’m sitting in a cafe reading this and just cried on reading your spoiler alert! Getting some funny looks! Thanks for sharing - I agree with Victoria, wise words.
