Dealing With Ill Parents

Scorp,

I know this is such a tender subject, so I am hoping the question I would like to ask isn't too much to answer. If it is I understand and apologise from the bottom of my heart.

My question is this...With the loss of my Da's former personality and this emerging new one, I find it increasingly difficult to cope and in some cases understand even though I have done as much research to try too. It doesn't seem to prepare you for the actual experience itself. How are you/what are your coping mechinisims to keep stong while watching the person you once knew slip away?
Like I said I understand if you can't or won't answer it. I'm just grasping for anything to help guide me along as I have never dealt with anything like this before. Any input or advice is more than apprieciated.
Once again...my deepest sympthies...you are in my thought and prayers.
