    Give Lita a hug

    • Hug

      From poshpaws August 13

      I'm going through the same Lita. Main prob is his driving. Still has his licence but I'm scared of being in the car with him in the driving seat. Causes many arguments. He just doesn't see the problem. He breaks speed limits then shouts at other drivers for coming out in front of him. Sometimes doesn't indicate. I don't think the authorities will re-new his licence next year and I'm trying to learn to drive before then but I anticipate a very rocky road when they do cancel his licence.

      Thank You so much for the wonderful prayer. I believe in the power of prayer. I can not tell you the feeling that it gives a person when someone you really do not know takes the time to include you in prayer. My name is Sally

      I am suffering from anticipatory grief--my husband of over 58 years has Ahlzeimer's Disease He's in Stage 5--maybe stage 6. Each day I notice a little bit more of him is gone. I'm realy sad and feel I'm on the verge of tears a lot. Has anyone else had this in this group? The AD group is most helpful.
