The Caregiver Chronicles
http://caregiverchronicle.blogspot.com/
This blog is a caregiver's haven. Alzheimer's disease and dementia are serious illnesses, but there can be humor too. Laughter is a great way to reduce caregiver burnout. Feel free to post anything you wish, but don't hesitate to include the funny incidents too. It will help you heal. For inspiration, check out my memoir, "Dementia Diary (or the Tale of the Boomerang Bubbe)." Free excerpts are available on my website, www.dementia-diary.com.
