Kerry, such a heart wrenching situation that I'm glad changed for you. My close friend has been dealing with exactly what you went through. Her mom says the most horrible things to her. I'm going to share this with her.

My mom's fall was that shift as well. She forgets, needs more help than she'll accept but I've learned not to take it personally--most of the time. When she has her good days and I make her laugh, I know I'd do it all over again. sending love!

Sending some strength to you and your friend, Janine. Love and heartbreak are easy to see by others, but the frustrations, angst and fears are right there too. When we know, we know. xoxo

Thank you. Helpful to know that we’re not alone.

What an amazing change your mother experienced! My father also experienced a personality change for the better. It was a combination of dementia and hormone therapy for prostate cancer that allowed this to happen, and I am grateful. I was able to be there for him in his last years - something I never thought would be possible. Thank you for sharing your experience!

That is amazing that physical therapy and different medications made such a difference. So happy for you, Kerri. Beautiful piece.
