Re: My visit to the doctor/dentist

[Guest guest]

Dear Jane -

Please accept this cyber-hug! I sat in church on Sunday sobbing and

there are times when the tears just flow. It is a release and I

think it keeps the depression less. What about getting into a Day

Care part time now so that when you find a job the preparation will

be done for and there will be better acceptance.

, I'm feeling it for you. Did the doctor suggest anything for your

depression?

I wanted you to know that should you decide that should live in a NH

I would back you up 100%. You have to work and would not be safe at

home on his own. It is because you love him that you want him to be care

for and safe when you are not around.

,

The tears will stop when they need to. Tears can be cleasning.

My mother had slurred speech and it got worse as her condition worsened.

I think sometimes we don't notice how much they have gone downhill because

we spend so much time with them. I think this is good for us.

Oh I wish you would find someone to turn off your tears. I know

all too well how it feels to have days melt into weeks of tears where

you do little but lament the changes in your loved one and how it

affects your loved one, you, your family and your friends.

Insofar as the decisions are concerned, they'll get made. It may not

be as immediate as you're used to but you'll find the answers and

when they come you may not even realize they are there in front of

you.

Whatever your journey, we'll all be here. We truly are in this

together and we're all pulling for one another.

Lots of love and strength goes out to you

Abby
