[quote=Anonymous]That sounds so hard - I can very much relate to your dad's stroke and how hard that is. My mom suffered a traumatic brain injury/surgery and months in rehab 2 years ago and now is no longer the strong single mom I grew up with and it breaks my heart. I see glimmers of her old self, but now when we are together, I'm making sure she has groceries and running errands with/for her since she can't drive now. My sister and I really struggle with not thinking about how things used to be. I'm still in the muddling through phase, but anticipate that I'll be in your shoes in a few years.. Hope you can find yourself again - maybe a hobby or activity you'd like to get into? If I had more time I'd like to get back into quilting, running, or even rowing. [/quote]
