Hang in there. If you don't mind I would like to add you to my home bible group's prayer list please let me know if that is ok with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you in what will no doubt be an increasingly difficult situation.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in what will no doubt be an increasingly difficult situation. That would be fantastic. I'm a strong believer in the power of prayer. All, I'm better today after getting a few hours sleep. Like I said earlier, yesterday was particularly difficult to witness. I'm sure a time will come when she won't recognize who I am. Thinking with a clearer head, I have to ask, am I visiting for HER benefit or mine? I can process these emotions and put them in their proper place. Mom can't. My Dad passed away in 2000, rather quickly, from that demon cancer. It's the suffering I hate to witness. QUOTE (CMC #37 @ Jul 6 2006, 10:47 PM) That's rough. I am thankful my Dad passed away before his Alzheimer's got too bad. My Grandpa was not so lucky, he ended up in a locked facility. Then you know the emotional roller coaster I'm on. I appreciate your sharing that Julie.

Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Last July, I lost my brother and 4 months later my step father passed away. My mom, had to be moved into a nursing facility 6 months ago because of her alzheimer's disease. She still recognizes me, but it's a battle each time I visit her. She thinks she is living in a pick up truck, in a grocery store parking lot and begs me to take her home. It broke my heart to commit her to a nursing facility even though I know she is getting a lot better care than I could ever give her. It's worse seeing her deteriorate at an alarming pace. Each visit, her mental condition is significantly worse Talking with her psychiatrist tells me to visit as often as I want, but that she will become more and more agitated and upset when I do. According to her local case worker, she does just fine in her daily routine. But when me or my wife visits, she is a handful for a while, many times requiring sedation. I'm torn between my obligation to care for her and see after her and letting her go. She's not the same person. It's the same soul, but not the same person. Thanks for letting me rant ...
