There is so much about #Alzheimer’s that no one can truly prepare you for. I’ve had to learn so much along the way. How to be strong when I feel anything but strong. How to keep showing up even on the hardest days. How to care for the woman who spent her life caring for me. & through it all, I remind myself that as difficult as this journey has been for my dad and I, I can only imagine what it has been like for her. She didn’t choose this. While I grieve my mom I miss so terribly, I never want to lose sight of the fact that she’s the one living through it. I may not have been prepared for this journey, but neither was she. And as long as I’m able, I’ll continue showing up for her with the same love she deserves. ❤️ #caregiverperspective #caregiversupport #caregiverstrong
