I echo the comments here — no apologies necessary. In fact, I felt I owed you an apology for not yet completing my work for you. I have been going through something similar with my mom, who died last month. Her decline was very difficult to watch, and her demands and comments were sometimes troubling and and many times completely out of character. I can relate to the emotional toll this takes and you and Susan are in my thoughts and prayers.

G.E.

I understand completely. My mother-in-law died in 2005 after suffering dementia for several years. If you need to talk sometime, shoot me an email. Trust in God and fear nothing. Prayers for you and your parents from my lips to God’s ear. Respectfully, your obedient servant, David R. Shaw

I am sorry to hear about this and the strain you must be under. There is no need to apologize. Thanks for letting us know. We are thinking of you, Susan, and your parents at this difficult time. Best Wishes.

However, when they are gone and time passes, you remember them less and less in their decline, and more when they were young and vigorous. Do the best you can and leave the rest to God.

We are going through the same with my mother in law. My wife is also an only child and what you describe sounds so similar to what we are going through. Stay strong – your right it is emotionally draining.

Just remember to take care of yourself and Susan as you go along .

Being in the role of caretaker…. It’s indescribably draining. As if you don’t already know that. True, very true, you owe no apologies, but I can understand how very frustrating it is not to keep up with things to which you feel committed. Things have been like that for me, a beloved elder failing, though not nearly as intense. I finally caught up some yesterday. I have your site bookmarked and will keep checking back. No worries about whether there’s something new–we won’t abandon you!
