Alzheimer is now a constant companion in our home. I tried to prepare when it was in the early stages. I am not certain anyone can truly prepare to watch their loved one turn into a stranger. Every day I find myself looking for a glimpse of the man I married. Once in awhile,he is here for just a moment.
There is one thing that gives me solace. It’s a song. It is a reminder that he doesn’t know that I am hurting. He doesn’t feel the same pain. It is not going to hurt him when I cry. While the disease is horrible, he won’t remember. He won’t miss me.
Give it a listen.
Such a beautiful song. We are all here supporting you.
Thanks so much. It brings tears to my eyes, your comments do as well. This is a big part of my life.
You are so welcome and the feeling is mutual. You are always thought about.
there is no path we can walk without remembering the changes.
I lost my dad to that disease. Keep going!
It does take its a toll, I was amazed that he recognized people back in Oklahoma, and many of them he knew their name.
it is hard, hard on your and on him. but it was good you got to go and say goodbye!
May our creator give you the strength to carry on
I am hopeful – that is all I can be.
It is an utterly heart breaking condition. So, so hard on those left behind. I wish you strength, Trenna.
I will make it, we all do what we have to.
