Two weeks ago I went to my support group. We had missed the month of October because the facilitator of the group was out of town. There were just 3 of us in attendance, plus Renee.
http://www.acompassinatevoice.com/ Before I forget, this is the link to Renee's website and it gives information about her books, "When a Voice No Longer Speaks" and "The Aftermath of Alzheimer's Disease". To my cousin, Bonnie - it sure took me long enough to get you that information!
Each of us at that meeting are at a different place along our journey, but traveling the same road. I found it a nice coincidence that the three of us were there at the same time, with no one else but Renee.
Lynn (also known as me about 2 years ago) - is traveling back and forth to the Midwest, discussing with siblings/father about her mother, figuring out what is important to do, getting information about health care and financial power of attorney, planning, observing, worrying...
India - (also known as me at some time in the future) has had her mother in law living at her home (with her family) for about two years. The decision has been made to find a placement, and she and her hubby are exploring that together.
And in the middle of these wonderful women, is me.
I do know that some time in the future I will be where India is. I know that I will know that it is time, just as she now knows. Something to (NOT) look forward to.
Update on health - my dad is back to himself. Best of all, that sick cough is gone. The regular cough remains.
