But, it is over, and now time to rebuild my life.
This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.

After the Funeral
Family members have left. Bed linens washed. And I am finally sleeping some. I wanted to do the funeral in a way Dwane would like and I was well prepared. What I was not prepared for were the criticisms. Criticism about details, plan of and place of burial. That took me by surprise and added to the stress. I guess there is just no way a person can plan well enough to avoid conflict.

My deep condolences to you on the passing of Dwane.
ReplyDeleteI too find the dynamics of people odd after a persons death. We all react differently after death I suppose.
What is that saying? You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. But you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Judith, you did the BEST you could for you and Dwane. You did it perfectly in love. Nobody could have done it better.
Life rebuilding will take time, move at the pace YOU need and not what anyone else thinks is best for you.
You have my thoughts and prayers for your peace of mind, heart and body.
