Think about what your loved one with dementia or Alzheimers may be thinking at this time of year. The holidays may not be easy for you but think about how your loved one feels. They will be confused and not understand what is going on. All the extra stimulation from the lights and commotion of the season will be overwhelming especially if you have children in the house. Take time to sit quietly holding their hand and just being still. Be kind to yourself and them.
