Changes – no signs ever in 42 yrs of marriage.
Mary – thanks for the site – I cried for her – too close to home, I guess.

I think the doctor was getting the words out there in case you could not bring it up. My mother was at first very suspicious, had somewhat paranoid thoughts, but later on she became so sweet and gentle. I just found you and will visit more. Hope you have a good day…

My impression in my Dad and others is that dementia/Alzheimer’s only brings out more of the underlying personality. My Dad just got gentler and vaguer. Frustration may be inevitable, but violence? No!

How can one do it….take each day at a time and…be prepared? Maybe the Doctor was foolish enough to think you had never thought of this? You have looked into every angle of this disease and I have no doubt you handle what ever comes. I am sure not all become violent and so far you haven’t seen signs that point to that have you? Take heart and remember his tenderness towards you, love runs deep.

I know you don’t even like to think of that. That was a harsh wake-up call, wasn’t it, the possibility.

I, too, pray for you every day, Jean.
