It must be so so hard to see your mom lose her memory. But you’re a perfect example of turning your own challenges into ways to bless other people. The residents in your memory care community are blessed to have you! Thanks for your comment:)

How about health circumstances that rob people of “Normal?” I work at an assisted living/memory care community. I see first-hand the affects of dementia. How this condition can frustrate some and cause others to be just free in their “lostness.” Angry…yet others are joyful. I often wonder why some souls turn down an angry road, while others become content and just plain happy. This condition causes those around them to be full of many emotions. It is sometimes hard to observe this life-robbing event.

It hits close to home for me as my mom has turned off the “Normal” path of life and has taken this dementia detour. If I am honest, some days I hate it. Most days I to pray for grace to guide and protect her and my dad. It is hard to watch as it feels like her death has already begun. I am grieving the loss of my mom, and she is still here.

Sigh…

Our Lot In Life…it can change. It is redirected. It is unexpected. It is gently guided by my Lord’s Hand.
Thanks for writing, Tracey!
