We're on our way down to see what we can do for her tomorrow. Thinking of you, of us, & how glad to know we have better connections with our kids. xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-16242898559247391332014-07-31T03:50:19.673-07:002014-07-31T03:50:19.673-07:00Thanks so much, Trish!

I cannot add any further words of wisdom more than the ones you have already received here. Getting your Mom's drugs sorted out should be a big help..way too many, I'm guessing. One step at a time.

It is a terrible thing to go through. My mom wasn't so good with it, 15 years of depression....... She missed all of Wesley's childhood feeling sorry for herself.

Thank goodness Dad had decided it was time for them to move to a "continuing care" facility before he even knew he was sick. The whole nightmare could have been so much worse. My brothers and I watch my Mom and take our cues from her. All you can do is be there...and breath.Anna M.

Just do the best you can and take it day by day. The weird thing is that in those dark hours you see yourself as the aging parent of the future. I realize now, a few years later, that there were some simple loving things that I could have done better, but I was working full time and patience was sometimes lacking. Hard to balance these things. <br />Hang in there,<br />Hugs from Mary littlemancathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042609230502564280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-65051390803593709282014-07-30T04:16:21.721-07:002014-07-30T04:16:21.721-07:00Most of us who are a bit older than you have been ...Most of us who are a bit older than you have been through this.For me the worst part was the helpless feeling that there was nothing more I could do.Do what you can do and don't feel guilty about the rest.Try real hard to keep your glass half full.Dennis Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170187288282755570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393740465996795163.post-36076579029283154092014-07-30T04:04:14.313-07:002014-07-30T04:04:14.313-07:00Breathe my friend, breathe.
