| "Mom has been getting angry and giving
everyone around her some pretty mean looks. None of us take it
personally and if I tell her in a light hearted way that she's
being grouchy she pats my hand and says she's sorry."

| "I've
wanted to share with someone like you one little thing that my
brother stumbled upon. Sometimes when any of our elderly got
frantic about something that we couldn't comprehend my brother
would put his arm around that person in a loving way and say,
"I don't think that's something you need to worry
about." It was amazing how often it helped.
Just saying that made the person feel we had recognized a need
they had, but it wasn't something they needed to worry about so
they could calm down." RubyLee |

... It's tough taking in your parents but think of what they did for
you. Good luck to all that try. It's hard on the family but hang in
there." John |

more assistance from her children, I constantly look for ideas and experiences
of others that will be helpful. Your emphasis on how rewarding those years
were gives me new hope that it may be the same for me/us. Thank you and
God bless you for your valuable insight." Connie |

course. ... I anticipate, because of the demographics, that your
level of family care will become more normal as we ... will begin to swamp the
health care system." Dick |
