Faith

"Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe." Voltaire

Do you believe that good will come from all situations?  Even dementia?  For those of us who are caregivers for someone with dementia, we are probably hard pressed to believe there is goodness within this disease.  It robs the person of who he/she is, it submits them to being physically dependent upon others, it replaces reality for them.  What good could possibly come from this?  Perhaps it is the difference our loved one makes in the life of a care provider.  Perhaps it is for us to look at our own mortality.  Perhaps it is for us to honor the many paths there are to exit from this existence.  What might be the good in the caregiving situation for you?
