About Me
I'm an only child & I lost my Daddy at 5:30 p.m. on September 26, 2007. He was and will forever be my hero, my champion and the first man I ever loved. I miss him more than words could ever express. I have a beautiful, loving, wonderful Mom who is having a very hard time with everything related to Parkinson's and it has definitely taken it's toll on her during the past 2 years. She is now living with me and I am trying to find anything I can to help her. I just don't know what to do anymore. I've been married to Paul for 7 years and he is an amazing husband. I have to great stepkids (Alexis -17 and Bryce -11). My baby's name is Sasha - she is a dog but she is my kid since I was never able to have children. She is 15 and been with me thru thick and thin. I'm a Realtor in South Florida so work is REALLY non-existent.
Interests
Family outings, reading, working in the yard, church, would love to some day be able to do a LOT of traveling.

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentI'm an only child & I lost my Daddy on 9/26/07 at 5:30 p.m.. We were so very close. I saw my parents a few times a week & we spoke a few times a day until 12/12/06 when my Dad started having problems. From that day forward I was with him almost everyday, including his last. I was blessed to have had my Dad walk me down the aisle & other milestones but I miss him more than any words could ever express. I wish I could kiss his cheek, hug him, hold his hand & tell him I love him one more time.
Treatments
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- Comes and goes. There's no rhyme or reason.
- Keeping Busy Somewhat Helpful
- Pets Working / Worked
- Our new dog has brought more joy into the home. It has been helpful.
- Prayer Somewhat Helpful
- I talk to God. I also find myself talking to Dad once I start praying because I know he's right there at Jesus' feet.
- Remembering Too Soon to Tell
- My husband is working on a memorial website with me in honor of my Dad.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- My husband is my rock. He has been with me thru all of it and is moving my Mom in with us. He cannot understand totally, which is why I am on this site, but he sure tries. He is a blessing.
Close Parkinson's Disease
My Mom is 78 & was diagnosed with PD in 2000. From what I keep reading I believe she is in Stage 4 now. She just moved in with us and I am her sole caregiver. Just looking for tips, knowledge and help.
