You Mom sounds amazing, and I&#039;m so happy you found the journey caring for her as rewarding and miraculous as I did. I always say it was the hardest yet best thing I have ever done in my life. Thanks so much for reaching out reminding me of that. Our stories are so important and so often help other caregivers. Much love.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Susanne. I had the exact same experience as you, except my Mom truly was Wonder Woman. When I was young if I complemented her on something she had done really well (fresh bread, making a meal from scratch, mending a rip in my clothes, her cookie making skills, her always thinking of others before herself) I ran the risk of my complement encouraging her to do EVEN MORE!  and if I said nothing, I think it made her try even harder to earn a complement.  Not only was I in a damned if I do or don&#039;t situation, even talking about it now makes me feel like a jerk since woe poor me wasn&#039;t doing the work, she was!
So when Dementia happened, the entire arc of our relationship slowly evolved and I connect 100% with with what you discovered. 
I wince when I hear Dementia called a death sentence, or so horrible it must be eradicated at all costs. I found just as you did, it was an entirely fulfilling experience that I will never regret.]]></description>

Wow! I completely relate to your story and I’m so happy you had the same blessing I did taking care of your Mom. It was such a healing experience and taught me so much about my Mom jand myself. Best thing I ever did. Thanks so much for sharing you story and memoir. It can make a difference for so many people!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I saw your blog post on twitter, and it immediately caught my attention. I too, was in a similar situation with my mother. She had Parkinson&#039;s with dementia, and left this world almost 8 years ago. Caregiving is a tough road to travel, but I will always be grateful that I made the decision long ago to care for her. In the end, it saved me. In fact, I recently published a memoir about my personal life journey, our mother/daughter relationship, the caregiving years, and our last days together. It was a life changing experience that I will always remember and draw strength from. God bless you for having the courage to share your story!]]></description>

Please take care of yourself.  The flight attendant on an airline always instruct you to put the oxygen mask on FIRST before helping others.  Sounds selfish until you realize you are no good for others if you are not good yourself.  I’ve learned the hard way.  You really are a hero!]]></description>

Leslee, my prayers and thoughts are with you. I am so glad you are reaching out to get help and respite. You deserve all the help you can get, especially since you have been a Warrior for so many years. I’m am so inspired by your story and I’m sure everyone else who reads it is. I hope you know how amazing and special you are!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am new to this site but not new to caregiving.  My husband had a massive stroke 32 years ago, was OK for several years and now he needs more help and I am 32 years older and can&#039;t remember everything.
My depression keeps me from doing everyday things, but I do do his pills and diabetes shots pretty much every time he eats.  Everything is on me.  I am trying to get some help for myself and some respite care for me.]]></description>

My role is easy, I just listen and win is the best comment ever. Such a brilliant strategy. It’s not a easy one always but always effective. Great advice!]]></description>
