Caregiver Stress
- It is normal for Alzheimer's caregivers to experience strong emotions during the course of their loved one's illness
- Denial is the first and strongest emotion, but denial quickly gives way to fear for yourself, fear for your future, and fear for your ability to cope
- Soon the caregiver is caught up in the exhausting day-to-day reality of caring for an Alzheimer's patient
