    About Me

    I am a caregiver for my mother who is dianosed with Lewy Body Dementia. I have been taking care of her for 6+ years with the previous 3 almost no breaks. My philosophy for doing this is she wouldn't make it in a nursing home and I know I can take of her at home. I am looking for people who are in the same situation and who would like to share their problems, prayers, etc. One of mine is what to expect next in my situation? Any takers? I am a good listener, am on line daily, and discreet.
