Default dear caregiver

I just wanted to say hi and I'm thinking of all of you.

Taking care of the patient is very hard indeed. If we aren't careful we will go way beyond what we are able. Take care of yourself.

Vicky, I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about your recent loss. I could tell your MIL was very dear to you. We don't want to lose them, it will take away the suffering and confusion.

A dear friend that lost her father to Alzheimer's was writing down some of her thoughts . I will share. This is not all she wrote but this part hit home.

She said her father had finally finished his journey thru the mist onto the other Side. No more suffering, just happiness. Every time I think of this I see a dear one coming thru the mist , nothing but happiness on their face.

So Vicky, your MIL has finished her journey into the other side. I see her smiling, telling you she is fine, not to worry anymore.

Please take care of yourself as you continue to care for your FIL. You and your husband are important, doing your labor of love. I pray you will care for yourself as well as your FIL

Julia

Thank you Julia, and Thank you Curious for bumping this... i just today saw this. I've not been on the computer as much lately. Christmas is just not as joyous this year. My FIL is doing better than we expected though I dont know what the future will hold for him, but for now hes staying in the apt him and Evelyn lived in on the independant side of the place they live. Assisted living is not out of the question in the future.
I hope everybody has a good Christmas. {{{HUGS}}}
