Dear Mom...: July 2012
http://stasweet.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Letters to my mom who had Alzheimer's. Though she passed August 10, 2012, I'm still going to write to her and share with her. Sunday, July 29, 2012. The Ups and Downs. It's definitely been an interesting time. Auntie finally left last Friday, I think. It was nice to have the house back, but it was really different because then it was just us! I was so glad to be able to spend time with them! Cousin Patty had a party for Auntie Alberta on Tuesday for her 88th birthday. It was another nice night! It's 10:4...

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...

Letters to my mom who had Alzheimer's. Though she passed August 10, 2012, I'm still going to write to her and share with her. Monday, January 21, 2013. I wish I could be hugging and kissing on you in person, I miss you so much! Even with Alzheimer's I would tell you so much that was going on with me. You always listened. You wouldn't remember, you may not even have understood, but you always. I still have the upstairs Christmas tree lit, it's for you, it's your butterfly tree! Links to this post. View my...

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.

Letters to my mom who had Alzheimer's. Though she passed August 10, 2012, I'm still going to write to her and share with her. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. I've written you a few times over the past few months, but never quite finished my posts. Not sure why either. I have been missing you so much lately. I want to come home from my crazy school days and tell you all about them, but I can't and I miss that so much! I just miss you! I miss sharing them with you!

With and without her. Life with my mother and her trip through dementia . Saturday, May 24, 2014. February 28th, I was roused by the phone chirping at 2:20 in the night. It was the nurse from Mom's assisted living residence. Mom had been awake and fitful all night, her oxygen levels are low, she has difficulty breathing, gurgling, she has a fever, they might take her to the hospital. What does this mean? I don't understand. I'm half asleep. The nurse called back, they were taking her to the ER. I began t...
