Marc,
Dealing with the vagaries of mental loss of this hidious disease is the one area of total weakness and cowardess that terrifies me.
My grandmom had it, and one of Dad's sisters. I pray the Lord takes him home long before that happens.
My heart goes out to you. You make the Lord smile that you continue to honor your mom in this way of loving care. Take care of the care-giver. I hear that all the time visiting Dad daily, but they don't understand there is no "choice" in caring for a parent, is there, Marc? :)
Prayers for you and your Mom. You are a strong man to only cry once a month!
May God's peace that passes all understanding be upon you both in this time of trial.
Keep the Son in your eyes, bro.
Doc, more than you will ever know , thank you sir...you are always there brother with the right words. thanks again Doc..mark
I have walked the trail you are on and the bright spots are few. All your emotions are normal for what you are facing so don't beat yourself up. Just let your love for a fine lady guide you.
With Prayers for Strength and Peace
Jed, ya nailed it my firend, thanks Mark
God Bless you brother! That is a terrible disease that is hardest on the family! God is proud of you for honoring you mom the way you are. I pray for both of you!
Thanks Matt...God bless all ...mark

thanks dave!
hi mark, i'll say a prayer for you and your mom. i know first hand how you feel. i lost my mom just over two years ago. she had alzheimers. her mother also had it and even though i was younger i still remember a lot because grandma lived with us. i helped my dad take care of my mom as much as i possibly could. she passed two months before her and my dads 50th wedding anniversary. i know just how you feel. the hardest part for me was trying not to lose patience with mom. it was so hard, sometimes i said things that i was sorry for. i know god forgives me and i know my mom did too. i'm going to send you a pm. don
God bless you brother, my dad has the same thing and it's not an easy road. praying for you and your mother....†
Thanks Don and James....have great July 4th...mark
My prayers are for you. I lost my grandfather to the disease 2 years ago and it wasn't easy. If you ever need anything just ask. God Bless
Alzheimer's is a despicable disease, taking our loved ones a piece at a time. My stepmom has it, and my dad has some dementia. Sometimes it is like the weight of the oceans is sitting square upon my heart. I have some idea how hard this is for you, Marc, and want you to know that I am praying for you to have the strength to carry through with all the tasks before you. It seems unending, snowballing as the months tick by.
I try, though it is hard, to disassociate myself from what I am doing, so as to not take personally all the barbs that lance my spirit, the constant demands and seemingly no-win situations. Give yourself some slack that it won't be done perfectly, because we ain't perfect. And yes, you do need to go stump-shooting or just find a pretty place to sit and see the beauty of God's works, to remind yourself that life is indeed good. I always feel a little guilty, knowing that there is something else that I should be doing, but getting beaten down every day without relief will burn you out and make you weaker at what you HAVE to do. And time will lead you to a release from your burden. The great lady who raised you and nurtured your loves is not the burden, but the disease is a sucker-of-life, and a heavy one.
I wish I could rub the stress from your shoulders and put a bow in your hand, but you are way down there and I am way up here, so see what solution you can find locally and take heart in that you have many friends here and at home, and of course, the One who loves you most of all, for He called you forth to walk this stony path.
