It is hard but there is a lot support from your family and friends!

Miss Jan. Thank you for sharing this. We have ...oh. Miss Jan. Thank you for sharing this. We have been dealing with the early onset dementia with my mother for 6 years. It is something that up to now has been easily hidden, sloughed off. But now it is much more noticeable. People are starting to ask. My dad is there with her every day but he is trapped. Not the retired life that he expected, and yet he is not turning over any of it to me, although I live only three blocks away. That makes me feel ever more helpless and a failure for not doing more. I have tears in my eyes from this moving post. And also because i can see myself in your shoes. You are there for your mother but it is still an icky situation. This is a bump in the road you did not expect. Know that you are not alone. And thank you for sharing that poem. I will have to print this to remind me to take a step back when I am frustrated. <br />Enjoy the day.<br />ErinTesoriTrovatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12771359288546654791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-69913557823693750.post-69805869405403901182012-05-09T04:51:37.813-07:002012-05-09T04:51:37.813-07:00My mother in law was recently diagnosed with demen...My mother in law was recently diagnosed with dementia. She was, and is, an exremely intelligent woman, so it is very difficult to hear that she tried to make pancakes on a coffee pot base, or accidentally ate a carton of sour cream thinking it was yogurt. For now, most days are good ones, but we know that this will not always be the case. Thanks for the wonderful poem. It's a great reminder for those who care for a loved one with this awful disease.<br /><br />Bless you for taking over the care of your mother.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.com
