    Dads

    Enjoy time with them while you have them ... mine passed away this weekend after 13 years with Alzheimer's. He lived a very full life - it's good that the suffering is over.

    Up here in Canada January is Alzheimers awareness month (I think it's November in the US); it's been important for years, now it will be even more personal.
    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

        Sorry for your loss TG. I pray you dwell on the numerous blessings you had with your dad and hope it brings some comfort during this trying time.

          I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, TG. I lost my dad 4 years ago and still think about him every day.

                my deepest condolences to you and your family. The good thing of the grieving process is that after some time passes, we tend to forget the suffering and negative things and hang on to the good times. Brighter days will come and you'll cherish the lessons he taught you and your family. It's normal for close friends and family to feel relief after the death of an Alzheimer's victim--don't let yourself swim in guilt over that. Be fair with yourself.

                  Our condolences TG. It's been 30 years since I lost my father and Bats lost hers 2 years ago. Still hard for me and us. Best wishes to you and your family.

                    That's a terrific attitude to have...I wish that more people could do that. Sincere condolences to you and your, but it sounds like you're going in the right direction...kudos to you.

                        sorry to hear Greg. It's a miserable thing to watch a loved one go through. I'm happy for him that it is over.

                          Sorry to hear that. My condolences to you. My dad has been going downhill rapidly lately and I'm kind of dreading that his time is coming soon as well. Hopefully I still have some time for my kids to get to enjoy his company.
