I’m not strong enough to offer my belief in someone even though that’s what they need. My provider knows how to believe in people. I wish I had that talent.
Remember that just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. You never know what the person is feeling or thinking. It’s a worthwhile cause.

But I’m not going to believe in someone when there is risk involved. That would just be as foolish as not caring at all.
My boss from my old work was telling me how his mother who was diagnosed with dementia was crying all of the time. It must be so scary. I don’t really know what you mean by believing in them but as @FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter said they can feel so I would like to be there for them how I can when I can.

It comes down to trust and not in an emotional way. Just because you can’t trust someone doesn’t mean they are not worthy of love and respect.

I’ve never really thought about this. I don’t know what someone with dementia might be capable of doing. I guess it involves a bit of risk maybe yea
To me, dementia just means someone is mentally unreliable.
