I've got a few more minutes...
...of semi-free time (Mom's watching the news), and want to insert yet another post on which I've been planning for a little over a day but forgot to mention in my review of upcoming posts; or, maybe it could be said it's inferred in the "Probably some other stuff, as well" category.
Mike over at Fading From Memory recently published an amazing piece of confessional literature entitled Pathetic that is heartrending and absolutely on the spot in regards to it's subject, which is caregivers' reactions to the increasing incomprehensibility about, helplessness toward and estrangement from one's parents' lives as they slip deeper into Alzheimer's country. Not only is the post excellent, so are the comments, particularly the one left by redcedar. This is the kind of writing that is so good it allows those who are involved in caregiving for Ancient Ones with Alzheimer's and those who aren't but know of someone who is (which is most of us, now) to feel, as redcedar puts it, "the demoraliz[ation]", under our skin.
Get your ass over there and read it.
Later.
