Ellamac77's Journal, 14 March 2023

my life is exceedingly sad sometimes. I am physically disabled and for the most part I think I do very well. I can do most anything. my stamina isn't great but I manage to keep up with my life. I have dogs and I take care of them as well as take care of my grandma who has dementia and Alzheimer's. she's in the last stages and doesn't know where she is or who we r. recently my momma got some devastating health news and it breaks my heart. she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and this usually develops into dementia and when she is here visiting her mom it's like she's haunted by the possibility that this will be her in a few years. I'm slowly watching my grandma die and lose herself and I will be the one picking up the pieces when this starts for my momma as well. my momma has taken care of herself physically and there's nothing I can do to help her. sometimes life just isn't fair.

No, it isn't fair, and my heart goes out to you 💔 I've seen dementia in my own family, so I know it's hard. Your mother and grandmother are blessed to have you in their lives ❤️

my family is dealing with Alzheimer's with my mother. And a sister that is trying to control and manipulate her estate to boot. I am a firm believer in God (and Karma) and feel there is a greater plan when we deal with these life traumas...we have to be wise enough to look for those lessons and blessings hidden inside them. Sometimes thwy come after, sometimes they come while we are still dealing with the issues. keep your eyes and heart open and keep the faith.

As time goes on we will all have dementia or Alzheimer’s in our immediate families. Lifestyle, diet, chemical exposure, lack of exercise, sedentary jobs? All of the above.

Ellamac, watching your loved ones disappear is so very hard. Just love them. I went through this with my mother. Holding all of you in my heart.

I don’t think I’ve ever read or commented on community posts, but I couldn’t help but feel like this person could really use some kind words right now. I don’t know exactly your situation, but I feel for you, as I’ve also lost an important family member not long ago. Heartbreaking, difficult, and still affects me to this day. So with that know you’re not alone and in my thoughts. Stay close to your loved ones in these hard moments. I hope things get better ❤️

remember you're not alone, and you are giving care and love to your loved ones . A lot of us have gone through this heartbreaking experience. But God has plans for good people to prosper ...It is extremely important that while caring for others you take care of yourself too... 🙏💓🙏

I’m sincerely sad to read the struggle that you’re in. There aren’t any words that will make you feel better, but maybe knowing that there are others who have shared similar struggles, and who have experienced the feeling of loss and helplessness, will help you feel less alone.
