My mother's diagnosis and now deeper journey with Alzheimer's has been the most painful episode on all accounts. You and I share the same faith, as well as that same struggle with the many challenges presented with the caretaker becoming the one in need of caretaking. It is such an intense pain. My mother has always been my best friend and the epitome of what a mother truly can be. Why would such a devastating disease overtake such a beautiful, kind, sharing, unselfish being? My heart aches deeply, daily, as I witness the slowly disappearing of the mom I have always loved. It is indeed a lonely time as I struggle to cope daily, hourly even, with the cruelty of this devastating illness, all the while trying to maintain some level of balance in the trials and joys of those in my family circle. Know that you have a kindred spirit in the many avenues that are endured with the challenges we now face. My prayers are with you and your mother, and I would be ever so touched if you might send some my way. God knows we need it while we continue to be aware of his greater glory in all things. It is hard to see the good, though it is ever present. Hugs to you and yours. ~ AngelaFILIGREE MOONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908327658306678043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4664224430545967661.post-91835409071438201312011-08-25T07:00:14.142-05:002011-08-25T07:00:14.142-05:00Big hugs to you.
