I am Ashley's ...Jama,<br>My heart goes out to you. I am Ashley's mom and my mother has Alzheimers. I will look up some of my resources and list them on here after Christmas when things slow down. One word of advice is treasure each moment you have. You lose a little of the parent you knew daily. It is ok to grieve each loss as it comes rather than holding the emotions in. I journal and this helps me process my thoughts and emotions.<br><br>DonnaDonnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02180423030158576113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950192071257538563.post-28443763579751856972009-12-04T14:18:58.618-08:002009-12-04T14:18:58.618-08:00Jama, You have my heartfelt prayers.

My mom is 66, has lead a high energy, creative, can-do, interesting life. She is the mom that has always been the favorite of all my friends thru the years. Never would have expected this to be her fate.<br>I'll refer back to your words again, when I need to calm my perspective.<br>Thanks.Jamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15203418159694898845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950192071257538563.post-57190205333141206632009-12-01T09:10:26.297-08:002009-12-01T09:10:26.297-08:00You can share it with your friend, sure!
