Losses are hard. Learning to grieve and regrieve them is hard. Getting another bruise just as the previous one is healing is discouraging. I pray you will be seen and cared for. Your reflections are so helpful for the outsider as well as, I’m sure, those facing the dementia monster personally. As you share, I hope that more people would come alongside you and would no longer be outsiders in your story but would become friends who feel each stab with you.
I felt each jab of those fencing parries as you listed Doug’s mental diminishments. Praying today for you.
Thank you, Mark. It means so much to know that people care. Every day I feel supported by prayer.
I like the pastor you mention in this post!
He is a good, good man. ❤️

Thank you, Robyn. Your words are also a balm.
