Alzheimer's is a Bitch: June 2011
http://alzheimersinvades.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Alzheimer's is a Bitch. Monday, June 27, 2011. I posted on my regular blog some of the things on my mind lately regarding Mom and Alzheimers. I'm more selective about what I say there, but wondering if it's time to combine these two blogs. Do any of you keep the Alzheimer's stuff seperate from your other writing? If only it were so easy to categorize the hard stuff in other areas of life. Http:/ emuf.blogspot.com/2011/06/loving-mom.html. Links to this post. Saturday, June 4, 2011. Links to this post.

Alzheimer's is a Bitch: January 2011
http://alzheimersinvades.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Alzheimer's is a Bitch. Monday, January 31, 2011. Mom’s 58th birthday was last week so my sister and I took her out for lunch. There’s strength in numbers. I told my sister recently that I wish I was as patient as she is with Mom. Sis takes it all in stride and smiles and soothes and makes Mom feel comfortable. I cringe and avoid eye contact and bite my tongue to keep from crying. My sister told me that her patience took practice. We said goodbye to Dad around 2:30pm and I said, "don't wait up! Mom frown...

Alzheimer's is a Bitch: Need to vent
http://alzheimersinvades.blogspot.com/2011/09/need-to-vent.html
Alzheimer's is a Bitch. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. I have one friend, a co-worker, who also lost a parent to Alzheimer's. We talked today at lunch, and it helped. People who understand are hard to come by. Seeing my mom-in-law and sister-in-law interact makes me jealous. I'm grateful to be included in the sisterhood on my husband's side of the family, but nothing replaces the friendship I had with Mom. Why not just go with it, and soothe her? Kiss her forehead, and tuck her into bed? I'm afraid for Dad'...

http://alzheimersinvades.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Alzheimer's is a Bitch. Sunday, September 11, 2011. And then all hell breaks loose. I posted this on my happy blog. Grief has widened my perspective. I feel like a funnel, taking in more than I have the capacity to contain. I move forward with open arms, vulnerable but receptive. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for Mom to describe her symptoms, or for Dad to bring the doctor up to speed on Mom's medical history (doesn't dementia trump all? Links to this post. Tuesday, September 6, 2011. I have...

with and without her: July 2014

With and without her. Life with my mother and her trip through dementia . Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Not everything beautiful, that God has made, lasts forever. Sunsets, warm orange, cool pinks, dusky gray, elusive green. There are certain sunsets that stay with you forever, you remember them, even though they are fleeting. A windy sunset at Lands End in San Francisco with my husband. A fire red sunset in Key West with my children. A frosty pink and yellow sunset at our new home. Being at Zion National Park...

With and without her. Life with my mother and her trip through dementia . Thursday, March 27, 2014. I feel a deep, sad desire to say goodbye to my Mother. I feel that I've lost her and I don't know where she is. She's been my responsibility for so long. I have this lost feeling, like I've lost my purse or house keys. I know something important is missing, is gone, and I can't find it. Is it because dementia has been a series of many little goodbyes? But I want to scream. NO! I was not a good daughter!

With and without her. Life with my mother and her trip through dementia . Thursday, April 3, 2014. I was reading Kate Swaffer's blog today. What she says is so true. The ugliest part of having dementia is probably the reactions of others. The two most hurtful reactions are those who stop spending time with us, and those who don’t believe us.". Links to this post.

I'm Not Ruth. She's Not Naomi. A Journey Through Dementia. Sunday, September 14, 2014. Made me laugh out loud. She has not lost any of that side of her. quick draw nasty. I am thankful that her hairdresser is back home from her summer trip up north. Here are before and after pic's. I am telling you she looks 10 years younger! What a huge difference it makes, even to her attitude! Well, most of the time. LOL! Have you ever been thanked too much? LOL Bob and I tag team now. *smile*. The naming of a blog.
