No one does."

There are days being a caregiver when I feel the fear of horror. You don't know who the person will be when they begin to hallucinate. You don't know what you have to deal with each morning. I have become single focused, which becomes intense at times. If not horror then terror. I anticipate those fears, the ones that precede true horror, every day.(less)

The Strength In Our Scars by Bianca Sparacino
“Please, just choose impossibility. Choose risk. Choose making mistakes and making memories and making it up as you go. Just choose to embrace whatever time you do have here, because life is finite, and fragile, and it vanishes too quickly. Make it worth it. Make it count.”

“I believe it was overcoming the fears that gave me the strength and wisdom to recognize that I would be ‘strong enough’ to be a caregiver. I was not trained, but I evolved.”
Judith Allen Shone, Is There Any Ice Cream?: Surviving the Challenges of Caregiving for a Loved One with Alzheimer's, Anxiety, and COPD

“I began to realize that I could not make sense of his world and that My Love could not teach me.”
Judith Allen Shone, Is There Any Ice Cream?: Surviving the Challenges of Caregiving for a Loved One with Alzheimer's, Anxiety, and COPD

Judith Allen Shone, Is There Any Ice Cream?: Surviving the Challenges of Caregiving for a Loved One with Alzheimer's, Anxiety, and COPD

“If you want the people to understand you, invite them to your life and let them see the world from your window!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt, You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life

“There are only four kinds of people in the world.
Those who have been caregivers.
Those who are currently caregivers.
Those who will be caregivers, and those who will need a caregiver.”
Rosalyn Carter

“There were moments when it hurt so bad you couldn’t breathe, yet somehow you survived the pain. There were days when you could barely put one foot in front of the other, yet somehow you arrived at your destination. There were nights when you cried yourself to sleep, yet somehow you held on until the morning. Your life is nothing less than a miracle.”
Eleanor Brownn

“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.”
Will Rogers
