Hi Laven

I think that your feelings are important and would like for you to share whatever your heart desires.

From birth every child has inherent goodness. Yourself included. I think you’ve managed to keep your goodness against remarkable odds.

You’ve been told over and over that don’t matter. But you do. We all do. You haven’t had people take care of you in a proper way. There is nothing “wrong” about you. The people who haven’t treat you with kindness are the ones who have wronged.  You deserved to be taken care of, just as much as anyone else. I’m sorry that you didn’t get that.

I’m sorry that you have experienced so much suffering. You don’t deserve it. I think you deserve peace.

Dementia is a scary disease. It’s really hard as a caregiver. It changes people. Someone who used to be mean can become savage. Someone who used to be loving can become a nightmare to deal with. It can be hard to see someone slip away.

There can be a lot of guilt for caregivers because of the difficulties of dealing with dementia patients. It can cause a lot of pain and suffering.

Please remember to take care of yourself. You’re doing an incredible job. Nothing about this is easy.

I’m sorry to hear that you are still suffering from your heartbreak. You are welcome to talk about it or anything else you like.

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
