Embarrassment

"Ease any embarrassment by taking the courage to explain the situation to people around you."

You may feel embarrassed when the person displays inappropriate behaviour in public or disrupts the neighbours. It may take some courage, but by explaining the disease and the concept of dementia to friends and neighbours, you will help them understand the person's behaviour.

Look for support from other caregivers who have experience of similar problems. Sharing your feelings with other caregivers will enable you to cope better and the embarrassment may fade.
