Mom & Me One Archive: 2002-2003
The definitive, eccentric journal of an unlikely caregiver.
As of 1/18/04 this journal continues at The Mom & Me Journals dot Net.

7 minute Audio Introduction to The Mom & Me Journals

My purpose in establishing and maintaining this journal
is to undermine the isolation of the caregiving experience
by offering all, especially our loved ones, a window into our lives.
As I post to this journal I think of our loved ones and their families,
how busy and involved we all are, and that,
if and when they come to this site they can be assured
that they will miss nothing in our lives and will, thereby, recognize us
and relax easily into our arms and our routines
when we are again face to face.

To MFASRF: One thing in passing...
...since it is on my mind. I have noticed, as well, that I am much calmer, or, how did you put it, I'll check tomorrow, about my mother's situation, including and especially the business shit. It is still shit but I am learning how to wade in it.
    My mother's slightly increasing alertness, too, seems to account for some of my relaxation. When someone slips mentally, the effort to companionate them increases exponentially. Go does the creativity required to keep up (and, yes, since it involves advanced age, it is "keep[ing] up") with them. So, every little bit of clarity, on their part, for whatever reason, helps.
