Changhua County Half-line Dementia Association, a corporate body, held a forum to share the process of family care for dementia. Wang Jianmin, an all-round artist, was invited to give a lecture to share her feelings of accompanying her demented mother and the process of seeking rescue resources with her family. Wang Jianmin appealed to and encouraged his family members not to think that care is a "family matter" and not to talk about it. They must open their hearts and be kind to themselves, so that they will not be lonely when taking care of themselves.
Mother swore after losing her mind, but my sister helped to take care of it.
Wang Jianmin said in the sharing forum: "After mom lost her mind, she became a completely different person. She speaks harshly and curses, and her eyes make people look scared. Now she is completely embarrassed, just thinking it is my mother? " At present, Wang Jianmin and his sister are taking care of her 83-year-old mother, who suffered from a stroke and lost her mind. In such a long and arduous journey of care, the person he feels most distressed and grateful for is her sister, because artists often run around, and with her backing, Wang can safely continue her acting work. Without her sister, she will never succeed.

Mom won't cook after she loses her mind. In order to get back the taste of his mother, Wang Jianmin opened a live food program in the online community, interacting with the audience while cooking, and recalling his mother's previous skills from the process of cooking. He said with a smile: "Although it is not as delicious as my mother's cooking, when I cook, I always feel warm when I remember watching my mother cook when I was a child and running errands in the kitchen to buy ingredients." 」
Wang Jianmin told the details of accompanying the demented mother in a plain and sincere tone, and even expressed the feelings of the caregivers. He encouraged the family members present to take care of the journey like a marathon with no end in sight. If they don't know where the end is, they must open their hearts and seek help and look forward to finding their own care model.

Caregivers ignore psychological pressure and be careful to become "invisible patients"
Dr. Zhan Julie, chairman of the Half-line Dementia Association in Changhua County, said that people tend to pay attention to people with dementia and ignore the need for support from caregivers. If they don't know how to find resources and ask for help, they often become "invisible patients". Half-line Dementia Association holds various medical lectures, nursing skills courses, decompression workshops, outdoor trips and other activities, providing a platform for various resource links and support groups; We hope to jointly promote the prevention, treatment and care of dementia, so as to improve the quality of life of dementia patients and their families.
