Hello all.
Should we talk about something other than my insignificant feeling?
Today's topic is conflicting feeling when taking care of an elder. (AKA my grandmother)
There used to be a time when we had wish grandmother feels better. (A little background info--my grandmother has Alzheimer.) But that time has come and gone. We don't know what to wish for now. You see taking care of grandmother seems a little burdensome now. It seems everyone's life is put on hold because we have to take turn taking care of grandmother. Task include holding onto her while she walks, taking her to the washroom, feeding her, and staying up with her because she barely sleeps at night.
Well, my conclusion is an elder is like a child. You have to be patient with her. Although, it seems she has lived a very long time and should know everything, but she doesn't. Not anymore. So you just have to understand that and tolerate that.
Regardless, sometimes you just wish for more time for yourself.
