I imagine it was super hard to watch your dad decline like that. 🙁 There are so many difficulties in life that we can’t explain; I’m just very thankful that this life/death isn’t the end.

Yes, I think these suggestions would apply equally to any dementia, not just Alzheimer’s. You’re still one of my heroes for all you do for your m-i-l in your own home. Your series was especially meaningful because I know it comes from experience. It’s my honor to point others to you.

Thanks for the link. 🙂

My friend has loved lady bugs for a long time, so she got a lady bug tattooed on her arm for good luck. We’ve all had fun with her about it. 🙂

I’m excited you’ll be including this book on your book page, Trudy, because it does have so much to offer! Thanks for spreading the word.

Going to a book is my default, Ceil. 🙂 Sometimes that’s good; other times, not. But it definitely was helpful in this case with my mom’s Alzheimer’s. And yes, these principles are applicable to those with any kind of dementia.

You’re right that hardly a family is untouched by dementia of some sort, so it is beneficial to all to learn what we can. And pray that we don’t need someone else to be learning about it for OUR own sakes someday.

Oh, I know; I often wonder if my mother understood far more than she could communicate, or if the thought process deteriorated at the same pace as the communication one. I hope I never have to discover the answer for myself….
