Everyone knows someone who is a caregiver for someone who is sick, disabled or old.  It can be frustrating at times and maybe all the time.  Feel free to voice out here.  We are here for you.

I am taking care of a dad who is very sick and has dementia sometimes i feel hopeless that i can not help him more and feell it is no use and why not give up then i see him as my dad and can not give up on him

I just said a little prayer for you that the Lord would lighten your load and give you strength and encouragement.  I pray that you will get the help that you need in order to take care of your father.  I'm glad you're here in our support group and I hope you find that extra encouragement you need to keep going.

As it may be hard somtimes to care for loved ones--remember how hard it was for them at times, not always knowing the right things to do or how to feel they were learning day by day as you have and are.
They did not always do the right thing, as I am sure you feel sometimes. I too have prayed for you to stay strong, seek the right doctors for care of your father and take sometime for your self.
They do have centers you can take your father - even for a few days. you need to rest as well to stay strong for him. seek other Family members to help if you can.

Gods blessing to you

tallen55: Welcome to the group. I have had the pleasure of being a caregiver as well. I say "pleasure" because it is to me. I am reminded at times that it is a "God-given talent" to be able to do what I do and have done for people who need or needed care. It seems God tells me what to do or what to say. We are always there, and sometimes that is all another needs.
It is necessary as stated earlier though, that you need a break from time to time. My first round nearly killed me. Then I received it as a gift from God, that i have that ability, and that another person trusts me enough to give them the care they need. God is definitely my guide here, and prayer helps a ton.
I too have said a prayer for you, and wish you all the strength and courage you need, and i also believe you have it. Just remember to give yourself a break, and love them like there is no tomorrow.

tallen: I forgot to say God Bless you for what you are doing also. It takes a strong person to do it.
