ばあちゃん/ Grandma 2

I'm always glad to be able to help my parents take care of my 95 year old grandma having multiple severe diseases including dementia, diabetes, etc.

Taking care of a senior having dementia at home is a bit tough not only physically but also mentally because we're gonna need to face a lot of complicated situations.

In fact, a number of family members in Japan have gotten depressed through the experience in it. It's much more difficult to manage than we think. Hence, we also need to reduce the stress caused by it.

Here's my advice.
In order for you to enjoy this lifestyle, consider him/her to be your toy (sometimes).

I sometimes engage with my grandma while thinking that she's my toy, I can do whatever I want, we need laughter, things like that.
Today, I made her become a gangster. Good night!

最近、電車の中でも、カフェにいても、居酒屋で飲んでてもたくさんの人が介護について話してるのを耳にします。本当に大変ですよね。私の家も皆んなで協力してギリギリ大丈夫かなって感じです今のところ。介護する側がダウンしてしまわないよう気をつけないとなとしみじみ感じることが多いです。

というわけで時々祖母で遊びます。今日はギャング風にしておやすみしました。また明日ばあちゃん！
