Wow, It’s So Great to Connect!

It is absolutely the most wonderful serendipity to connect with someone who understands what you have gone through and are going through.  My gratitude is so immense to have friends who understand what it is like to take care of parents with Alzheimers/Dementia and who share their best thoughts with you on things most helpful in your journey.

I wish I had met Julie Farmer before my Mom died last year 2008.  I have been researching and studying alternative health solutions for almost 40 years now.  Over those years, I have found some excellent products which helped my Mom and Dad with their health issues.  Of course, I take and use the products as well since I am planning on NOT having Alzheimers/Dementia.  It was so very difficult watching my Mom lose all her memories and I don’t want to put my family through that agony if I can help it.

I remember going over to Mom and Dad’s every other day or so to help out because my poor Dad just didn’t understand how this could be happening to Mom and she would cry because she knew she was losing everything.  Daddy would call me and say that he could not stop her crying and would I come over.  I would crawl into bed with her, hold her, hug her and rock her….telling her over and over again that she would not lose me….I would be with her always.

Eventually, Mom was too much for Dad to handle and he had been diagnosed with Dementia (early stage), so we found a Secure Assisted Living for Alzheimers/Dementia patients and they both went to live there.  That is another story so stay tuned.

Warmly,
Connie
