my mom's nursing home called today to tell me that the doctor recommended that she go on hospice care.

they said she has entered the last stage of alzheimer's and is not taking in nutrients, just liquids.

i'm going there tomorrow morning to fill out the necessary release forms.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I've been there when Greg and I were taking care of his grandparents. If you need anything, please call me.

i am in the process of writing a letter to my mother.i have been told by family members that she knows im going to come back into the fold.and has thus decided that untill i do she will not be in the same place as i am again.this also includes mt parents 50th wedding anniversary in june.my father wants me there is has never been a jw.but mom has decided that if i attend then she cannot.this all added to the fact that she is in continual contact with my eldest daughter to "keep consistent" in their treatment of me.i am angry and intend to explain to her the fact that i will never be a jw again and to explain to her why.. i have seen many wonderful letters others have posted to family members.im just looking for anyone who has any ideas or thoughts that i might be able to use in my letter..

thankyou!!!!

My dad never was a JW either so sometimes my mom has an "out"(excuse) to associate with her df'd kids with him being the "head of the house." Not that she does very often but once in a while she will attend something saying "well my husband insisted that I go." Whatever!!! I feel your pain and all I can offer is to tell you to hold on to your dad. Some people don't have any of there family so I consider myself very lucky to have him. He comes over for dinner and lunch without her and life goes on without my mom.

Jade

Wow Stephanie,.....I'm right there with you. It's strange I was just thinking about that this morning.

Finally something that works

by SheilaM in

jw
friends

i have been struggling(as you know) with depression and feeling like crap...finally the depression lifted enough that i got off the meds yahooo but i still was sluggish (read sloth-like) unable to be the happy, laughing person i remembered from 2000 before my life spiraled.

thunder has tried everything and i just decided to laugh even if i didn't feel like laughing and smiling even though i didn't.

it wasn't him or my life just the risidual effects of low-grade depression.

Jade

Sheila I'm glad you found something that works for you. Have you ever tried taking Kelp capsules? I don't know why, but it helps me alot. I just have more energy and feel better when I take them.

Oh and Happy Birthday Missy Lissy....I see its your birthday!!!!!
