I truly believe we are doing the right thing and that their lives will be better for it and I am sure that once we get through this initial period we can enter a new rhythm.

Patients, who want reassurance that they will get better or maybe even just not die. Family members who don't know what to do and sometimes just don't care. I really guess the most important thing I can say and do is "I'm here, I'll be here for as long as you want and need me, but I am here beside you." I'm thinking about my family and situation but I will be in that position, soon. I don't know what else to say except you are doing the right thing for your parents and helping them as best you can. divermedic274@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070393529304324129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-61931635456676659462021-02-13T09:02:28.950-08:002021-02-13T09:02:28.950-08:00I know Glen.

I'm not sure it helps if everyone is pessimistic for awhile other than to balance us optimists out.<br /><br />Being optimistic, I know the sadness and sorrow of today easy with age and slowly become a mellow wine which I savor and pick out the good notes as I drink.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-76906604823264104442021-02-13T06:21:27.154-08:002021-02-13T06:21:27.154-08:00When I find myself in an intolerable position, I c...When I find myself in an intolerable position, I chop it into manageable pieces. If I can't make it a day, I can make it till 5. If I can't make it to 5, I can make it to noon... I can make it 15 more minutes... I can do this for 30 seconds more....

Think about all the millions of things your parents did for you in the course of your life... this is your time to do for them. They have some traumatic changes to make, and you are there to face it with them. It may not seem so...but that is huge.
