Cafe' LBD

It's like a runaway train, but you can't get off. She is stuck and I hope I can get her out of this, "are we going to your house"? Funny thing, she didn't come to my house thatvoften in the first place, but now, in her sundowning state, my soon to be sold home, is where she wants us to go.

It has now been 13 nights of sundowning. It is partly my fault. I didn't know me moving my things to my mother's house and the back and forth, was going to mess with her mind so badly. However, I am not sure how long it will take for her to detox from all of this.

I see now with this disease, I will be learning how to deal with it everyday! Each day therevis something different, or something you haven't experienced before or in a long time. Yes, you have to stay on top of it...if possible

Nobody wants to wake up each day, not knowing what or who you're waking up too. That is the world of Dementia. Sometimes you feel like your walking on egg shells, and other times you move in fear. You just have to wake up with a determined mind to not allow it to control you!

so much with Dementia is repetition. Just like the movie "Groundhog Day", you make get the same behavior the next day, or few days. It is frustrating for us caregivers of a love one, but they need us to help and keep them safe, each and every day!

It has been emotional of late for me. I am not sure if this disease is progressing or what. It just amazes me how one moment she knows who I am, then the next she doesn't, and it happens without any warning.

This roller-coaster ride has no ending. However, we do make stops, but not enough of them for me. I am doing my best to handle what comes, but I can say this, caregiving is not for the week!

Every day IS like a box of chocolate when it comes to Dementia. Now I pray that my mother will recognize me when I get up in the mornings. She did a few mornings ago. So will take that and praying for more days.

Living and caring for some with Dementia is challenging and stressful. I am tring not to let it stress me out, but this up and down, is too much and I got to get back to things that keep me relax

Caregiving for someone with dementia is no joke! Your life revolve around them, and what they are going through, day and night.

What a difference a day makes, and dealing with a love ine with Dementia, will have you on a never ending roller-coaster

Mom has Lewy Body Dementia , and most times I don't know if I'm coming or going. I guess I will never get use to this!

All people with Dementia, will experience sundowning. It's how we handle it, is what's important and I still do not handle it well!

Having your love one with Dementia, not see you when they look at you, will mess your mind up to the point that you may or will break down.

This journey I'm on, in a short amount of time, has not been easy. But with God's help, I will be able to caregiver my mother during her journey with Dementia.

Yes, I am back and this time, I will do my best to not disappear on you all! My life has taken a major turn and now, with this podcast I plan to share my thoughts, frustration and more, so that others who are caregivers know, it is okay to feel what you feel.

Yes, we are now tired of the Smith Rock triangle, but it is one that has been happening for decades with people.  This day and time, because of the on going hurt that so many have had in their lives, that they have not dealt with, now these people are out here hurting other people instead of seeking help to heal them from their hurt.  We don't know how a hurt people will react to any sit...

Yes, the struggle is real and sometimes I wonder how I am going to do it!  Although I did this episode months ago, it is just another way struggling can keep you from doing the things that you love. All we have to keep in mind, is that struggling is another form of strengthening ourselves, mind, body and soul.

Can people be loyal without an agenda?  I often wonder about that, considering most of those who I thought were loyal to me, actually was for a reason.  We have to alway evaluate our circle of friends, and family too.  If you have any questions for me leave me a voice message where available on some platforms, email me at africanms@gmail, or DM on Instagram @africanms .

Can you remember the moment, the hour, the day, when the true meaning of "responsibility" kicked in for you?  With the world the way it is now, the true meaning of the word, has yet to be fully embraced by most.  So, what will it take, for you to step up to the plate called "Responsibility"? If you have any questions for me leave me a voice message where available on some platforms, emai...

It is not often that I listen to others opinions, on how I should do things. Although there opinions always seem to be good, but it is my inner voice that I sometime silence at times, that never should have been silenced.  Your inner voice is so important and we much try our best not to silence it, but to listen for it's guidance.  Leave me a message where available on some platforms. &n...

Yes, letting go is therapeutic for the mind, body and soul.  But on the other hand, it is good to look back, not often, but at least once to see just how far you come, and what you thought was important, really wasn't.  I hope my personal thoughts will get you to thinking also.  If you have any questions for me leave me a voice message where available on some platforms, email me at africanms@gmail...

There is always something or someone trying to stop you from achieving your dream.  But how strong is your spirit?  That is the one thing that will keep you from failing.  It will keep you from falling for anything.  Yes, you maybe strong physically, but if your spirit is weak, you won't reach your goal.  If you have any questions for me leave me a voice message where available on some platforms,...
