GG, thank you so much for your reply. I do notice mom has days she's right there, then it seems she goes into a funk,etc. At support meetings and when I see my pdoc, they claim that's how it goes, and eventually will worsen. Sure the knowledge can help prepare someone but it doesn't make it less painful, but at least things become easier to understand how much is mom,the mom I've known for 49yrs., and how much is the diseases. I also realize there are so many going through the same or similar thing, I just sometimes just feel so alone with this.
Thanks again,
Roe
