When my Mom died in 2004 and Dad moved in with me, I had no idea what to do. But day by day, I found ways to cope, and even enjoy having my Dad with me. So I started writing a blog at www.KnowItAlz.com, which shows the "lighter" side of caring for someone with dementia. After a while, I added over 100 pages of helpful information and tips for caregivers. We even have a Chat room so caregivers can communicate with each other from home. Art and music are a very large part of my Dad's therapy. Please pass this link along to anyone you feel would enjoy it. Thanks!
