I believe our ability to carry on as a caregiver comes from the spirit within us. Many of us realize, later on, that our dormant spirit was re-enlivened and reinvigorated. • I continue to think about Alzheimer's caregivers and Alzheimer's caregiving every single day. I know what caregiving feels like. I took care of my mom, Dotty, for 8 ½ years - 3,112 days. I understand how caregivers feel. • I understand because I was an Alzheimer's caregiver. • I believe in Alzheimer's caregivers. It is my belief that we are special. During our time of caring, we accomplish more than most people will ever imagine. In order to care, we reach down into our spirit, and we activate the soul within us. This is my belief. • I want to make something clear: no matter what path you take - stay-at-home caregiver, use adult day care services, or place your loved one in a specialized memory care facility - you are on the job. • You care. • As we care, we develop a resolve and intensity that is hard to describe. This is why we often hear the words I don't know how you do it. We rise up with an intestinal fortitude that is often unexpected by others, and sometimes, even unexpected by ourselves. • How do we do it? One simple reason: We are the ones. You are the one. • Perhaps we prepare for our oneness over the course of our lifetime without ever realizing. I believe our ability to carry on comes from the spirit within us. Many of us realize, later on, that our dormant spirit was re-enlivened and reinvigorated. • Some of us might conclude: this is our purpose in life. • After all, what could be more meaningful and purposeful than caring for someone who needs us so much? As caregivers, we lead a meaningful and purposeful life. Alzheimer's caregivers - we learn how to think and we learn how to feel. I mean this in a very important and real way. There is nothing stronger than the feeling of love. It is this strength from love and our common bond that gives us the strength to carry on. • I continue to learn, and I continue to think about Alzheimer's disease. I don't know if that will ever end; it won't be happening anytime soon. So my fellow companions, my fellow dementia caregivers, I say: I'm with you all the way. God bless you, and God bless your loved one. • My name is Bob DeMarco. I'm the founder of the alzheimersreadingroom.com.
