I love taking care of my mother with advanced Alzheimers, but today I am feeling very blue. Caregiving has been very rewarding because she was a wonderful wife and mother, but it is a very lonely and isolating experience. I will be turning 50 in a few weeks and feel as though my life is in major limbo. I gave up a career, life in a big city, and so much more to care for Mom.
havent talked to the renter gal since i ran her yapping dogs off. no animosity between us , im just worn out with her thoughtlessness and denial . the place doesnt smell like dog p*ss anymore and i can sit and design product in peace..
I liked to discuss politics, movies, religious beliefs, latest news. I DON'T want to talk about health porblems, no organ recital for me
I have found that care giving has become my life's work. I now care for my husband who suffers from Solvent Dementia.
I had 3 children, 2 are in Spirit only-miss their bodies so much but feel them in my heart, my Spirit-always, as I do my son who is 47 & simply will not talk to me? Both of my daughter's were disabled. One was disabled mentally & one was physically disabled.
I have found that now my husband is my teacher in so many ways. I am so grateful for the gifts of my life.
The one main thing I do now, is that I am willing to see everything differently
How the world changes when you see it differently.
BE GOOD TO YOU, FIRST....I can only speak from where I have & continue to walk.
I wish we could sit down and have a cup of coffee and compare notes - it sounds like our lives almost parallel each other.
