I thought I would check in with you all. For the most I am doing ok, I just feel like I am so relieved to be away from ALZ and I feel so bad for those of you still in the journey. I don't know what to say other than, it does end, you will survive.
Glad to see you and glad to hear you are going ok. Im the same, come by and check on things but not so much as things around here are still so chaotic.
We just lost my father in law to Alz complications as well as renal failure in January. Unfortunately my kids have lost two grandparents in less than 6 months. Trying to stay above water and not doing a really good job, but Im still dog paddeling.
Hope to see you again soon, keep us posted on how you are doing and hey....you know how to find me and where if you want to chat or vent or whatever.

if there was any more contact from the "family" ( Can't think of
another word that is not vulgar for them).

You've been in my thoughts....glad to hear from you......
Nice to hear you are doing better.
I know what you mean and feel prettty much the same way. I feel awful for those still on this journey, but don't feel like I can contribute in any way. I come on and read posts and there are lots of new ones that I am not familiar with.
For myself, I am doing OK. I feel like I emerged from the "Dark Valley" at about 7 mo. I now know that I will be fine...I have ambition to do things and am currently sprucing up the house with paint and such. Started eating healthier, lost 6 1/2 lbs and have started going to Zumba classes. ( A whole lot of shakin going on!) lol.
I don't know what life has in store for me, but I know I will be fine.
As Deb says, it is proof that you will all be fine also, so concentrate on that light at the end of the tunnel. And.........you will know when your grieving is over and life begins again. Just let it happen.
Hugs to all

I also am hanging in there and an finally feeling like I am regaining some of the Glenda that was. I thought I I had lost me there for a while.
Of course it will never be the same but I know I am healing and am enjoying my life.
Carolyn, I have been checking into Zumba classes and they look like fun.I'll let you know how it turns out.
I also check the post but don't feel like I have much to offer, it's still hard sometimes to be reminded. But, I send a prayer out to all the new members this site was a life saver and it will help you
through some very tough days.
The only thing I can offer, be strong and as hard as it is make time for your self.know that after all the dark days the sun will shine for you again and your family again.
