Thinking out loud

It is easy for a person suffering with dementia to be cast aside by family and friends.  Unfortunately some people just don't want to deal with the situation or maybe they can't face it.  But family caregivers are cast aside too.  They lose social connections and social activities because of their time constraints.  Life takes a different turn and many times the family caregiver is alone.  The computer age has brought about social networks and support groupsonline, but there is nothing like personal affection and attention.
