As I write the title I think of Alice In Wonderland in how dementia and Alice’s world are some what similar to a point.

Recently I received a call from the nursing home letting me know about that my mom is in memory therapy. Reason behind this that she is getting agitated that she is knowing that she forgetting things again. They feel that creating a memory book would help. She was asked what was one thing she didn’t want to forget and she said, “birth dates”. Ok, then. So a conversation about some things that she might want to remember and what I have been seeing with her. So I get off the phone and start to cry. My instant thought was when will she forget me or will she know me anymore when I see her next. This is a scary thought and one I really am not ready for to be honest.

Life has been pretty busy with my kiddos as well. So still working on not feeling guilty about not always seeing my mom every week. This is going to be a constant struggle.

How do you all deal with feelings like this?

Holidays are right around the corner and that is a whole other can of worms and another day to deal with as well.

I wish you all the best and have a wonderful Blessed Thanksgiving!
