I have not ever had to experience anything like what you are going through now, but I work with people who struggle with Altzheimers and I have seen the toll that it can take on their families. I know that my words cannot possibly make things better or even easier for you. But perhaps you will find it comforting, even if only slightly, that someone is lifting you up to God, even on the days when you are too tired to reach for him. I will continue to read as you see fit to post and will be covering you in my prayers...<BR/>- PenthosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199768756572358188.post-526444190118064622007-06-26T15:57:00.000-04:002007-06-26T15:57:00.000-04:00Kelsi,You are such a strong woman.

Her doctors don't want to diagnose her until they are sure. It is frustrating. She seems to be drifting farther away from us. My family is almost certain she has Alzheimers. I have many of the same feelings you have and it's not easy. I enjoyed reading your story and I am sure God will bless you and your mom so much! Keep trusting in him! Without God what do we have.<BR/>Love you, AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199768756572358188.post-19918852096550196982007-06-26T09:33:00.000-04:002007-06-26T09:33:00.000-04:00Miss Kelsi...

I can relate on the most minute level... my grandmother also succumbed to Altzheimers... She and I had a connection like no other... and to her dying day, she knew I was her beloved granddaughter though she didn't know my name. She died my first week of college here at IWU. I was not allowed to attend her funeral and it devastated me. This Christmas, we will be in Florida and I will get to visit her grave for the first time since her death in 1990. Even typing that, I well up with tears for I still mourn her. I love you Miss Kelsi!
