Relieving the Primary Caregiver

He writes: My mother is the primary caregiver for my father. It never ceases to amaze me, when I relieve my 85-year-old mother from her caregiving duties. I give her a break from her caring duties for my 86-year-old Dad. It still hurts me how a once brilliant mind has changed.

I know the changes affect my Mother in ways unimaginable. She has been dealing with this over the past 10 years and the changes have been dramatic.
