I could not do what you do. A doctor just said to me about a parent with dementia, it is not a problem that can be fixed, it just has to be managed as best as possible.

Sorry about that, must be rough. Something related I discovered in that line of work: many people make the mistake of labeling a person as disabled, having alzheimers, and so forth, and for them, the person with the disability becomes the disability. Disabled client cries a lot, "caretakers" walk by, it's his disability, don't pay attention, you're wasting your time. Once the human gets labelled, it's like their humanity disappears, they're a thing, not a person.
