Anniversary of my Dads death this month/Mom Sick  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
October 27th is the first anniversary of my Dad's death (buried on Halloween). Halloween is the first anniversary of my DD1 weaning. I am just so sad. Its been a rough year and I am not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

To make matters worse my Mom is sick with Alzheimers. In fact I just got off the phone with her. She is so confused. My Dad died of Alzheimers so this makes it doubly hard.

I always dreamed my Mom would be there when I had kids to talk with her about raising kid issues, now I don't have her. I have my MIL, but its not the same. I don't have any friends IRL with kids that I can talk with. My friend L is wonderful, but she doesn't have kids and doesn't know how to answer my questions and concerns. Sigh....

How do you get through times like this? :

Anne, I am so sorry to hear about your dad and your mom. There is nothing worse than watching a parent live with and pass away from Alzheimers. I lost my dad in March from dementia and I miss him so much. My mom is in the hospital sick (cancer) and I stress every day that I am going to lose her, too.
I have no idea how to navigate times that are this hard, but I keep on going. What other choice is there, I guess, huh.

I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am that you are going through this. and I'm sorry you're sad. and I want to give you a hug.
