I wanted to call my Mom so much this morning....I hope the pain isn't always this bad.

The thought that I might be alone for the rest of my life made me sad today.

sadness for things I can do nothing to change.
overwhelmed
overworked
wondering if ANYONE that is honest, caring, etc... will ever find me attractive or desirable.

sad that no matter how much I try, or what things I try to do, to change my present circumstances...... somehow... they never work...

Tonight it really hit home that a loved one is losing himself to dementia. We don't know if it is Alzheimers or some other type, but that doesn't rally really matter. What matters is seeing the rich person he was fade away as he slips further away from us. Where once he used to be a Martial Artist (Soke Roshi Shihan) and a brilliant medical medical researcher and teacher, now he spends most of his days in a state of sleep so deep that it is almost unconsciousness. When he does have a day of wakefulness, he cannot remember how to do the simplest things-use the microwave, compose an email, or even really feed himself. He must be constantly be watched lest he take an overdose of insulin, wander outside, or other behavior dangerous to himself. So sad that sometimes I go into the bathroom just to cry. Mom and I are his only caretakers. We really don't know what we should do. He has left strict instructions that no matter what, he is not to be taken to a hospital. He is frightened of strangers, now even of his own brother. We just do our best and take things one day at a time. Sigh...
