What does a person that is having a bad day do when they are having a bad day? Most people will cry, pray, eat comfort foods, talk it over with someone they trust, or isolate themselves until they get themselves together so to speak. What does a person with Dementia do when they are having a bad day?  If someone with Dementia is having a bad day typically their behaviors are out of control. Sometimes just like a person that does not have Dementia, needs extra space and time to sort things out. Persons with Dementia also need extra space and time to sort things out as best as they can. As caregivers we then need to let go of the things that we cannot control. This is for our own benefit. This is a tremendous and merciful benefit to caregivers once mastered to diffuse the power struggle.
