I have not experienced anything like this, but I have tears because you capture what you are going through so powerfully. I wish you whatever you need to help you get through this time in your life. Keep writing because you really have a gift.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563349118046419387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485620572840913353.post-23028474505417796592018-03-27T07:36:33.822-04:002018-03-27T07:36:33.822-04:00As I read your Slice Amy I started thinking about ...As I read your Slice Amy I started thinking about my conversations with my mom in her last year when I knew she just put in the tape when I called. She was suffering from dementia. I started saying goodbye to her in that year... I too, loved to hear her voice. In the past few months I've been aching to pick up the phone and hear it again, so enjoy what you can. <br />Bonnie KBonnie Khttp://digitalbonnie.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485620572840913353.post-23624634151453713172018-03-27T05:43:41.569-04:002018-03-27T05:43:41.569-04:00My heart aches for you.

You miss having a MOM. All feelings are fair game - no guilt. Keep visiting. Be her memory of joyous times. Let the girls be a part of that storytelling. Laugh. Cry. Scream. Just remember that you remember. Hang in there -- you've got this!<br />ClareClare Landriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413627163568088181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485620572840913353.post-58418197484171264172018-03-27T04:37:25.901-04:002018-03-27T04:37:25.901-04:00Having watched my grandmother and my mother-in-law...Having watched my grandmother and my mother-in-law descending into dementia, I can so relate to this. You captured the range of emotions so well. One of the hardest things for me was when my grandmother spoke of people who'd passed long ago; I didn't want to say, no, they're gone. I didn't want her to keep losing them over and over. The stress is immense; your being on edge is natural. Strength to you each day, and to her. Your love will see you through.
