Patricia, thank you for all that you give in these posts. The joy of reading your thoughtful writing, the sharing of your experiences, the generous mentions of helpful resources are all blessings I look forward to when I find a notification from Searching for the Words.
What can anyone say to help boost your convictions and prayers? I will not attempt to grandstand you, but having turned 65 I too discovered that another " swich" has turned off. At 40 it was the need for reading prescription, at 50 it was the start of arthritis, as 65 prostate, but I along with my dear with are also searching for recent " short term memories" many of no great significance, but it has initiated a level of anxiety which I witnessed when my own father was afflicted by dementia. You are a Super Woman. I pray each day for Doug and yourself, and including your kids who also are part of the equation.
wonderfully made but our bodies and brains wear out. I'm so sorry to hear you are having anxiety because you watched your father go through what you now fear. May your faith and trust in God give you comfort and strength for whatever lies ahead, but I pray it is not this. Thank you for your prayers, Jerry. I am not Wonder Woman, but I walk with a wonderful God. 💕
The number of losses we observe as our loved ones disappear is uncountable. Thank you for sharing this moment (and this resource. Ordering my own copy now )
