As a caregiver, I think one of the challenges is recognizing that we can not use the same skills and interpersonal dynamics that we came to rely on in our relationship with the person with LBD, we have to develop new ones because you can not reason with somebody who is having a hallucination or delusion. Sometimes you have to more step into their reality and empathize( and) learn a new way to offer assistance without them feeling like they're being treated like a child.
