You two have been a true team all along, and even when this rude Lewy entered your lives, you are still making it work. I totally admire the way you have lived, and now honestly and courageously sharing the details for us. I think you are helping many people. As for us, I have macular degeneration which is getting worse. We see a Retina Specialist tomorrow. Yesterday I said to Leroy "I'd rather be dead than to lose my vision." He said, "Don't say that." I said, Will you let me get a guide dog?" He said, "I'll be your guide." A dog can't make coffee." I'm sure we'll make it; thanks for showing us it can be done. Give Diane a hug for me. Love to you both. June
Thank you for the link to Pat Snyder's work. I wasn't aware of her. She has such a lovely, soulful, calm presence.
Interestingly, when I was reading other articles by cancer sufferers, they shared a similar version of 'personifying the disease' I thought you might be interested to read their articles: https://www.carermentor.com/i/160697456/diagnosis
I would like to share a link to your article and highlight Pat Snyder's work during Dementia Awareness Week in the UK, taking place from 19 to 25 May. Is that okay?
A small word from me on Hope. Even after the seismic emotions and events I've been through, I still feel hope. It's just that its definition and how it feels morph —that may make no sense or resonate deeply, such is the unique nature of each of our experiences! Malleable hope?!
Lots of wisdom in here for all married people -- with our without a formal caregiving dynamic. Thank you.
Thank you, Aaron.
Thank you for living and taking care of my aunt Diane, she is lucky to have you.
