Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
I really feel for you Troub, and for all of your family. That is the worst, that you know that things will not improve at all. I hope that your family and the people closest to your grandparents will all be able to support each other and your grandparents in whatever they need.
And of course I will keep them (and all of you) in my thoughts and prayers. I really hope that things stabilise with your grandparents and that they continue to enjoy the best quality of life that they can for a long time.

Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Hang in there, Brookie! You'll get through it!
Lou, I don't even know what to say, except that I'm so sorry your family is going through this. I guess I didn't realize that it was happening with your grandpa, too. I just thought you meant that he's unable to care for your grandmother by himself. At times like this, you don't even know what to pray for. This affects the whole family, especially the main caregiver. It sounds like that's your mom. Just know that you have me and a lot of other people sending good vibes your way.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Thank you all.
Cathy - until recently, we didn't know that it was happening to my Grandad either. He seems to have changed quite suddenly. The doctor basically diagnosed him with Alzheimer's too but, as we know, the actual diagnosis is quite tricky... it's more an educated guess, or a process of elimination. His forgetfulness has been getting much, much worse lately and he has had a couple of incidents that have been very worrying. It is really tough. I appreciate your words and thoughts. They do help. :hug:
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Alzheimer's is a heartbreaking disease. I lost my Grandmother to it last year. My best wishes to you, Troub. I hope our Grandparents can be made comfortable and that you all find peace. Lots of hugs :hug:
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
:hug: Troub
I am so sorry to hear about your grandad. I will keep you & your family in my prayers. And please let your mom know that there is no shame in asking for assistance or support. She does need to take care of herself too because being a caregiver can be draining.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
I will pray for your family too, Troub. I guess all you can do now is surround them with love.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Troub, I'm sorry to hear this too. Thoughts and prayers for all of you. :hug:
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
This evening we are going to find out the gender of our grandbaby, if it cooperates, that is!
Whatever it may be we really don't care, we just pray for good health!
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
Of course Brooke! Good luck to your son and his wife. But at the end of the day, as we say here, '10 fingers and 10 toes' is what matters in the end.
Re: What's Happening In Your Life?
I hope it's a boy or a girl. Lol!
