I’m With You
Iknow exactly ow you feel. AM in the same position with my parents and am in a ocnstand state of anxiety and depression and worry. Every minute of every day I think of them and worry about them. I wish we could make them better and live forever.
Hug
My mother will be 85 June 21st. She has dementia. As I look at her gray hair, her main activity is sitting at home in her stuffed chair and gazing at my daughter and myself as we speak to her we too find it difficult to see her in this condition. We're trying to keep her home as long as we can. She has basically turned back time into childhood. Physically she's there. Very weak and barely able to walk. Her mind is that of a child. However, we're all that she has. So, here's a Hug, you're not alone. Marika

I feel your pain. My mother is 80 and has been in hospital to nursing home since before Christmas since last year. She has dementia and most of the time does't know who I am. She has a feeding tube in and suffers from seizures. I lost my mom emotionally last year and really miss her and our conversations. I know the pain of watching your whole world get old and go away. I am 52 years old and still want my mom.

i dont know what happened to the rest of the posts there but when someone leaves ds all their posts and page goes too. she was offended at what i wrote on your post on the discussion board. i went back and read it a few more times but i didnt think i said anything that should have upset her, at least i dont think i did. that was the first time that i saw her on ds and i wrote to her a long message when she said she was leaving and when i sent it she was already deleted from the site. she was talking to me when she said, 'read the original post'. guess i misinterpereted something there. hope you are doing alright betsy. sorry that i ruined your discussion there, i apologize. hugs to you.
