I See you Series
I See You When Family Members Step Back or Step Away from Dementia Caregiving
I see you when family members step back
or step away
or say they “just can’t.”
I see you carrying the weight
and the opinions about how you’re carrying it.
I see you hearing what you should be doing
from people who aren’t here doing it.
I see you holding responsibility in one hand
and criticism in the other
with no place to set either one down.
I see the moments you wish
someone would simply show up
without needing to be asked
or explained
or convinced.
I see you feeling the loneliness of that.
And I see you showing up anyway.
Still caring.
Still trying.
Still loving.
Even here…
I see you.
