Comments on: Losing dad to Dementia http://mumsgather.com/2007/08/03/losing-dad-to-dementia/ My very own mini, personalised, parenting resource. A cyber filing cabinet of parenting articles and links. I love sharing my children's favourite sites, online games, crafts and exchanging childcare stories and parenting issues faced with other parents.

I only manage to visit a few times a year. <strong>It will be the hardest on your sister, ie. the "frontline" caregiver or carer.</strong> We are very fortunate to have my sister and family living very close to my parents to help.

It will be the hardest on your sister, ie. the “frontline” caregiver or carer.

People with dementia have their good days and their bad days. On the days when your dad behave more like himself could have been his good days. No one knows exactly what causes good and bad days but I suppose all of us have good and bad days. It is difficult to see our parents who used to care for us in this situation. <strong>Yes, its hard.</strong> I think you mentioned about your dad in one of your posts sometime last year.
