Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 hi donna, thanks for the ideas, hospice has been contacting me and i did go to a grief support group that they have ongoing but i know the purpose is to share ones pain but i found it even more depresssing and harder to funciotn the next day., so i wont do that again, maybe i am just not receptive enough to it yet. i am trying to keep busy and trying to do happy things for me, like finally getting down to the finnal few boxesw in my coke florida den/craft room, selling at the flea market, being around my friends, and donnie and all our critters of course too. i know i need to cry and i have several times, but there are still alot of tears left, but would rather let them come out as they will, and not in a group cry session. i know that really sounds selfish and cold hearted, but just the way i feel right now. in time, things will change i am sure, no sense rushing it i guess. hugs and thanks again for the advice, sharon -- Daugher of Leonard, diag May 2004, had lbd since 1993, had hip surgery from fall 7/05, aspiration pneumonia 7/05 with pulmonary embolyis, had aspiration pneumonia and uti 8/05, died of blood pressure drop on 9/25/05, may he rest in peace with his mom and dad, a smile a day keeps the meanies away ---- Donna Mido wrote: Sharon, I am sorry you are having a bad day. It can get that way. One of the things I did was to find some support grief groups that just got together to talk. I found two, one at a church for 6 weeks and an on-going basic group. It wasn't just for dementia, but it did help to find a place to just talk about it. Hope this helps. And hope things get some better. Donna R Do you want to read more about Lewy Body?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Sharon, You don't sound selfish. You sound like you know you and know what you need to do and how to do it. I was just suggesting the groups because they worked for me. They aren't for everyone. Hugs and lots of good thoughts coming your way! Donna R Do you want to read more about Lewy Body?
