I am fine. Thank you. Being in charge of my dad's care did take its toll on my mental and physical health - I have Parkinson's. So I was simply exhausted much of the time. I keep myself busy with advocacy activities. I know the grieving process varies with individuals. But I had already been grieving for so many years because of Dad's battle with ALZ. I miss him terribly but his release was what he had wished for for such a long time. i visited his grave this morning. Now my dad & my brother are together again at last Kitty - I believe Dad knew we were with him at the end. I am so glad.

Jean I can't even imagine the physcial and mental toll that it took for you to take care of your Dad. I have sisters that has been helping taking care of my mom and also my Dad. I don't know what I would do without their help.
I hope your body and mind can start resting some, but I do know sometimes it takes time to get that rest after such a crises like this. I grieve for my Mom also Jean even though she is still with us. I try to calm her fears and let her know she is love, but I also miss the mom that I know. Glad that you were able to visit the grave site. Know that your heart must be relief to see that your Dad is not suffering no more, but yet I know you must still miss him and your brother dearly. Sending hugs, Trish |
