Comments: Thank you so much. Mom died in 1982. In 1988, at the age of 52, I graduated as an Occupational Therapist. My specialty is the management of dementias in the community. That was Mom's gift to me and I hope to all my clients. Blessings, Joangela.

Comments: My wife and I nursed my mother who had Lupus until she died. Now, we are supporting my parents-in-law who live nearby. Mother in Law has Alzheimers and is not the person we once knew. You would understand that. I'm going through real grief about the death of my twin and I'm even struggling about the death of my dog a year ago. Just finding your site was cathartic for me. I know grief takes a long time to work through and I'm secure in the process on my personal journey. Thanks for being vulnerable.... Paul

Comments: Thank you for consolidating and collecting other contacts for support in dealing with Alzheimer's. My father has early onset Alzheimer's and is deteriorating rapidly. There are so many things for my mother to deal with, that it is very tiring for her. What upsets me the most is the lack of financial aid. It seems that one has to bankrupt themselves before help can be provided. Leaving the caregiver bankrupt and having to continue caregiving makes it very difficult for the caregiver to feel good about themselves. Is there a group addressing these issues? Again, thank you for taking the time to create and manage this Web page. It is inspirational.

Although my mom has not left this earth yet, I greived her death May 18th, 1995. Her mother passed away this day, at age 96, and mom could not understand it. This is when I knew that my mom was lost to me forever. I applaud you Brenda.

I lost my mother very suddenly and unexpectedly just 7 weeks ago (August 26, 1996); and, my paternal grandmother -- now 90 years old -- has suffered from alzheimer's for around 10 years, now. (How ironic that my mother is gone, while my grandmother -- 32 years older -- is still with us, but doesn't know who we are.)

I hope that working on the page helped you to work through some of your grief at her loss. I read every poem several times, and looked at all the pictures while listening to the music. I only wish that all the pictures had loaded properly - I found myself wanting to know your mother better every time I read something new. What better tribute can a daughter give her mother! Is there anyway you can go back to school and finish your degree? What was your major?

Comments: I enjoyed your page. My mother was diagnosed in 1993 with expressive aphasia after our noticing speech problems starting in 1990. In 1995 at a geratric exam she had little expressive and receptive cognizant skills and needed 24 hour assisted care. That facility did not work. She entered a nursing home 1 year ago. The doctor said in 93 her condition was caused by small strokes, the aging process and oxygen to the brain. The geratric exam docs said they also doubted AD but that her condition would probably continue to deterioate. Routine was important to her. SHe was very restless and active when first there tho couldn't speak she attended activities tho left. Always stayed for church tho. Since the last small stroke, she has slowed down quite a bit. Seems to be content in her room, with the TV on and curtains open (6 mo ago she would not have allowed that). I can't tell whether this is a progression of her condition or a resgination of where she is and a giving up. Since the last little stroke she has gone back on cardizem daily and med for incontinence that seems to be working but not sure what the side effects could cause. Many say she could be in the AD family, but the docs say she doesn't quite fit the profile. I have great help from my husband and 2 adult children and only a phone call away from my brother and sister who live out of state. I still have guilt feelings..see her..not see her..always changes. If I stay away, I feel guilt and if I go it's like she doesn't care that I am there. Her speech is almost nonexistant now with a couple pat phrases. I spent 5 hours with her and got no response. She has taken all pictures down or turned them face down or put them away. They seem to 'bug' her. I don't know if there is anything I can do to help her or feel that too much has been lost. If I don't fall into the caregiver category of an AD patient, please accept my apology for this and belive that I appreciate reading your page and was able to think, someone else has been through some of what I have been thru the past 6 years. Thank you for reading. Susan

Comments: My grandmother has Alzheimer's - she's been diagnosed for about two years and has been in a nursing home for a little over one. I've seen my mother deal with a lot of things, from just not taking offense at my grandmother not knowing who she is to her sister denying the whole situation angrily. I don't know how I'd be able to handle the situation as a child of an Alzheimer's victim - it is hard enough to handle as a grandchild -- but it is so wonderful that you've shared your thoughts and feelings on the matter - people need to know more about this. Lastly, was reading through your online journal - being able to sympathize with what is there, it stung emotionally to read your entries. My gut reaction was to offer a hug of support. Very powerful, personal writing.

I am sure others in a similar situation will find your page both informative and comforting. My parents dealt with my grandmother's Alzheimer's several years ago and I remember how hard to decision to put her in a home was. Taking care of an Alzheimer's patient is both physically and emotionally draining and I think you did the right thing--no one can do it alone. You are to be commended for the sacrifice and effort you made for your mother at the end. I started to read your journal and will come back to read it some more. BTW, thanks for the nice comments you left in my guestbook.

Your page captures the true spirit of the internet - people providing information to help others! Thanks for all your hard work- GREAT JOB!

Comments: Thank you so much. Mom died in 1982. In 1988, at the age of 52, I graduated as an Occupational Therapist. My specialty is the management of dementias in the community. That was Mom's gift to me and I hope to all my clients. Blessings, Joangela.
