As a social worker, I go through this with alot of families but it isn't easy for anyone. My father-in-law has symptoms of early Alzheimer's and I'm trying to prepare my husband's family for what is ahead. So, I'm always thinking of what you as a caretaker are dealing with also.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500536571675127596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417359688941324284.post-64054658190386370602011-02-23T08:50:17.553-04:002011-02-23T08:50:17.553-04:00Dear Kim,

Those qualities are washing over her as well. I've been keeping both of you in my prayers. Given all the lovely comments, I believe that we are a group that only wants to support you fully, and the sharing of the details isn't necessary.

I understand abou you wanting to do all you can to protect your mom from the indignities that Alzheimer can bring on and respect you even more for that. <br /><br />You are to be admired for your devotion and the caring that you give to your dear mother. I'm so sorry that things are getting more complicated with your mom's condition. There will come a time that you will no longer be able to care for her and I know that you are doing your absolute best under the circumstances. <br /><br />I love the pink sky. Big hugs dear friend.

Been there with my mother as well. It's so hard when it's your mom. Oh I do understand, and I do sympathize completely. Best I can offer is to just direct all the unspent energy you would direct toward "doing something" and just use every last ounce of it to love her. All my best to you and your family.tattytiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408220720084181008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417359688941324284.post-65537184403870249762011-02-22T19:31:56.071-04:002011-02-22T19:31:56.071-04:00Kim,

It's an easy test if you get easy cards. Those of us that get and unexpected bad hand have learned that a bad set of cards dealt in Life sometimes makes the better player. Plugging through the unexpected extra pain of Life is the true test of our lives. Living and still enjoying Life with a difficult hand is sometimes the hardest thing to do but we must do it.(When I am going through a heart wrenching time I am usually Kicking and screaming Lol) Extra hugs for you! your a strong women and better yet your a caring person.
