The essential art of survival.

I’m worried about an Alzheimer care-giver. Julie is caring for her parents. Both with dementia. And Julie is exhausted. Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. I tell her, get relief. Respite. Go away for a week. Maybe to a spa. Turn the care-giving over to others. Otherwise, Julie won’t outlast her parents. That’ll be a sad situation. For everyone. The best care-givers learn the art of survival. It’s essential. –Jim Broede
