I’m a big fan of Kathy at Know it Alz.
She recounts her adventures caring for her aging father who has Alzheimer’s Disease. He sounds like a delightful man who has kept much of his sense of humor (and she has as well) during this time.
She has many creative strategies for helping him cope […]

If you are a caregiver, it’s likely people are always telling you to “take time for yourself”, and I know (oh how I know) it’s much easier said than done.

She feels that PBS missed a great opportunity:
There were so many missed opportunities to educate the audience, to show us better ways of doing this, to get us to think about these things ahead of time so we don’t […]
We’re Catholic, and my daughter was confirmed today. It’s a big deal, new dress party, gifts etc.
Since we were going to have some friends over afterward, we had to clean the house (I know! We do it every now and then) and I ran across some family knick-knacks (when you’re the only child of an […]
Carol O’Dell at Mothering Mother and More has a powerful post about stubborn elders, and having the courage to make and follow through with tough decisions.
We read so much about supporting each other when our aging parents are difficult, but I’m not sure I’ve run across anyone forthright enough to give a message to […]
