[quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP. My mother has Alzheimer's as well and at a certain stage - it is was a death. A death of who she was and a death of our relationship. I have found that I have to love my mother for who she was as well as try to embrace her for who she is now. But make no mistake, my mother - the woman who raised me and I have depended upon - is dead. The confused little woman I visit is dear to me and I love her, but she is not my mother. Does that make sense? I too had to reassess my life when my mother "died". It's not too late! Make new friends, reconnect with old friends, make the effort now - that is what I did. And it has really really helped. All the very best to you, OP and the PPs who share our story. IMO, there is no disease worse than Alzheimer's and related dementia. None. Hey - let's all do the Alzheimer's Fund Raising Walk!!! [/quote]
