Its obvious my mother has alzheimers and is getting worse. My step dad and I looking for solutions to get her diagnosed. Deep down she knows she has it. When she forgets things she really gets upset. If you even mention anything regarding it, suggestions or mention anything to do with memory she makes the roof come off. I just moved back this week to be closer. This is heartbreaking and sad.i hate watching my mom fall apart and I feel so helpless. My stepfather spends every waking hour on the… read more

I write my husband a daily note of what he has to do, what I have to do, and what we have to do together. He can still read a little bit….but he carries the note around like a toddler would carry… read more
55 years for us - good for your 66 years🤓. It's sure not what it could or should be - but it is what it is and I try to do my best every day ( doesn't always work). Hubs wanted to drive yesterday: I… read more
This strikes me so with the example of my own mom. It makes me realise how as children, we learn things that serve us our entire lives. What is one of the key reasons to go to school for example and why it’s important? To learn how to behave with other people.
