During a recent conversation with a caregiver, she mentioned the challenges of caring for her mother who is 87. Her mother is unpredictable. How, I asked, do you respond or react to this unpredictability? The caregiver was at a loss for words. She had never thought about it. After spending sometime pondering the question, she said, it’s my mother. I never considered her behavior. This has just become a part of my responsibilities, and I just accept whatever comes. How does that make you feel, I asked? She had not given this any thought. It was part of her routine schedule. How would you have responded to this caregiver? Was anything acceptable? What methods do you think she uses to distract herself from this situation? Share your thoughts with me.
