Only last evening a former coworker wrote to say a mutual friend is in a bad way with that despised 'C' word. My heart still hurts for you and Sherry. I hope you won't second guess any of your actions and that 'haunted' feeling slowly fades. But please remember, there's no time-line on grief. Be kind to yourself. We love you!Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-62159692795540758632019-03-22T09:32:41.821-04:002019-03-22T09:32:41.821-04:00Remembering the pain of watching my Dad age throug...Remembering the pain of watching my Dad age through all the stages of Alzheimers, such a horrible disease and now Mom with progressive dementia. It's heartbreaking, I know how you feel. Shirl is in a better place, as difficult and challenging it was for you two to help her passage, no one could have done it better. Time will heal and you'll see her again in a happier place. <br />Love,<br />GlendaGlendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729245550131715085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-73133800155276250742019-03-22T08:30:32.914-04:002019-03-22T08:30:32.914-04:00They are terrible words for sure.

No one touched by either one of them ever comes out the same. One of my sons is a cancer survivor and I can remember the day we did a happy dance together when he was pronounced cancer free, My oldest died from a fast growing brain cancer . We never know what may happen in life, but I try to always be thankful for each day that comes. I do know the pain of loosing someone you love. Try to remember those happy times and forget the sad ones. Our treasured memories of them remain in our hearts for ever.

Made me appreciate that so far I have been spared having anyone in my immediate family be faced with that terrible disease.<br /><br />You and Sherry were there for Shirley. When you knew she needed you, you came running so to speak and stayed until (sadly) the "bitter end." She might not have understood all that was going on around her, but she was surrounded by those that loved her. From what I read that you shared, I believe you were a great advocate for her. I'm not sure there is anything more you could have done because the disease had already taken its toll. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-48812312819544620852019-03-21T23:07:37.081-04:002019-03-21T23:07:37.081-04:00I know this was heart breaking for you and a shock...I know this was heart breaking for you and a shock. It seems like the memories keep coming back to you. You loved her and did everything you knew how to do to take care of her and that hideous disease.

I have not experienced it in my family. I have lost a sister in law to agressive cancer but thats it. Well, thats enough. <br /><br />Hugs to you <br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109633602729593188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-28380607232135417702019-03-21T20:18:11.483-04:002019-03-21T20:18:11.483-04:00My mother had dementia (back then they didn't ...My mother had dementia (back then they didn't call it Alzheimers) and lived with me for 4 years until I could no longer do it. I had four little kids- 3 under the age of 5. It was so difficult for her and for us. In the end, she went into a small home-care place and was taken very good care of but had no idea where she was -who we were- what was happening. <br />God bless anyone that has it and the family that deals with it.<br />At least with cancer you sometimes have a chance. My hubby is LIVING proof of that after knowing that only 3% of people with his type of cancer survive. He is cancer free three years now.<br /><br />have a wonderful spring night.

Her 2 sons living can not take her home with them, 1 lives on the Canadian Border and the other lives in Jupiter Florida! The other son passed away from a Heart Attack. It saddens me to see her all curled up in bed like a baby or just sitting looking off into the distance ! So Sad. Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133152472401045582noreply@blogger.com
