A resource which was a lifeline during my Mother’s Alzheimer’s was the The Alzheimer's Association's 24 Hr. Help line. Your person doesn’t have to have

Alzheimer's, any form of memory issues they will talk with you or the person struggling. They have licensed counselors you can speak with. It was helpful for me to have a non-biased person to talk with and discuss changes I would see. They helped me understand what was happening , listen to my grief and help me strategize how to deal with family dynamics.

Memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer's help 24/7 – call us toll-free anytime day or night at 1.800.272.3900 (tel:1.800.272.3900) Just ask to speak to a counselor for reliable confidential listening.

Did you know practicing self- compassion has proven health benefits. On her TEDx talk on self-esteem versus self-compassion, Dr. Kristin Neff with University of Texas, shares how self-esteem is based on comparison. However, self-compassion grows not only health for self but care and compassion for others. Research has shown it to reduce stress and the negative health effects of stress, anxiety, blood pressure and more. More information can be found at www.self-compassion.org

or TEDx: The Space Between Self Esteem and Self Compassion.

I highly recommend you listen to the meditations she has from 6-20 minutes long on this site.
