Following my last entry in which I shared some reflections of my time with my 88 year old mother who suffers from dementia, I was pleased to hear back from some of you who shared your experiences attending to an aged parent. There are just so many trials and tribulations in witnessing the deterioration of the body-mind of someone we cherish. We invite each of you to share your own experience in caring for an aging parent/family member as there are so many commonalities, shared trials and challenges. It is helpful to realize that many of us are navigating the same adversities in our own unique family matrix. By sharing what it means to bear witness to deterioration and loss, inspires collective faith and comfort in the face of inevitable isolation.
