As a caregiver, what should I do if my loved one denies having Alzheimer's?

If your loved one is unwilling or unable to admit that change is coming, i.e. , if he or she is in denial, the job becomes a lot harder. I have seen quite a few people, particularly people who have been powerful and prominent in their community, reject any admission that something is wrong, and then of course both of you are in real trouble.

Your loved one won’t avail himself or herself of the treatment that is needed, and preparation for the future will not take place. Consult with the doctor about how this might best be overcome, or, if you are already attending a caregiver support group, (which we will discuss shortly) ask your peers in the group how they may have overcome a similar problem.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
