Alzheimer's San Antonio Texas

Linda Born is a caregiver of her mother who suffers with Alzheimer's Disease.  Linda is a blogger who shares her personal experience and her spiritual insights into Alzheimer's Disease.  Her blog, God, Mom, Alzheimer's, and Me,  is a inspirational and informational resource.  She recently posted a piece about the most challenging phase of caring for her mother that I believe offers some thoughts that would be helpful for most people in the situation of dealing with a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease.  

I have written about our relative easy caregiver/patient relationship in this blog, but perhaps I do not share that initial time of struggle often enough.  This difficult transition to the role of caregiver and patient is the subject of the devotions in my book, and I'm in a different place in my caregiving journey now. 


I want people who are coping with that transition to understand that your challenges are not unique.  Mom felt so angry and resentful toward me, and I was so hurt.  I was horrified by her cognitive decline and overwhelmed by terrible love for her along with intensive grief as I lost the mother who had once been my firmest supporter and confidante.  It was awful!
