Life After Caregiving: January 2011
http://nolongeracaregiver.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 28, 2011. Okay, a disclaimer first. Some of you will think I am nuts (I'm not) and some of you will just say it's her imagination. Or perhaps, it's what she wants to be true. And some of you will relate. Either way, this is my story. Two nights ago, I woke again at 3 AM. I played some games on my IPad to get myself out of my head. Soon, I was relaxed again, and closed my eyes to sleep. It wasn't there long. But it was Dennis' eye. I would know his eyes anywhere, any day, any time. Then I ...

Life After Caregiving: Tear Tsunami
http://nolongeracaregiver.blogspot.com/2011/02/tear-tsusami.html
Friday, February 11, 2011. A wave, more like a tsunami, of tears hit me today. In fact I am trying to write my way through them. My therapist, doctor and friends warmed me about these waves of grief. I wish they were done. I don't like these feelings. I have eaten. I managed to go to the grocery store and purchase ready made comfort food - potatoes, turkey and gravy. Maybe too many carbs? But at least I am eating. All of this is simple life, I know that. And I also know that I have to face all of it,...

Life After Caregiving: July 2011
http://nolongeracaregiver.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. Http:/ onepartwidow.blogspot.com/. Saturday, July 30, 2011. It has been a very long while since I have written. My therapist suggested that grief makes it very difficult to concentrate. I think she was right, but now that I find many of my everyday needs being met once again, I feel ready to write. I even painted a little a few weeks back. Thank you for being a part of my life. I hope that you choose to continue reading my musings. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Life After Caregiving: A Walk in the Graveyard
http://nolongeracaregiver.blogspot.com/2011/03/walk-in-graveyard.html
Sunday, March 13, 2011. A Walk in the Graveyard. I am back from a very helpful visit with my sister and brother-in-law in London. Jane and Ralph took great, nurturing care of me - feeding me, letting me be lazy, making plans for going places that I would enjoy, and taking long (for me, not for them) walks in various neighborhoods in London. For the first time in 2 or 3 years I let someone else take care of me. She was not able to remember much either, but did remember him both being aggravating by his ov...

Life After Caregiving: Anger
http://nolongeracaregiver.blogspot.com/2011/03/anger.html
Sunday, March 20, 2011. I am angry today. The county wants every penny back that Dennis received for care. Yes, he had money left and I was afraid this would happen, but I am still angry that it has happened. I am angry at the social worker for not telling us that the help was simply a loan. I am angry that Dennis had to work to receive this loan. I am angry at Dennis for not gifting me the money like we discussed. I am angry at myself for being angry. Labels: Life after caregiving.

Life After Caregiving: MSA Awareness
http://nolongeracaregiver.blogspot.com/2011/02/msa-awareness.html
Wednesday, February 9, 2011. As many of you know, Dennis died of a rare neurological disorder called Multiple System Atrophy. This disease is considered an orphan disease, meaning it is so rare that it affects too few people to be given much thought by the medical community, politicians, and funding for research. Labels: Multiple System Atrophy Awareness. February 9, 2011 at 7:14 PM. I have signed the petition, Ann.wonderful idea. and quite a few people have seen it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
