Everybody Hurts

        Everybody hurts when there is dementia in the family.

 

 

 

I long for my dad the way he used to be.  I long for things to be the way they used to be.

I never knew how much pain a family could be in.  I never realized how this sort of thing could split us up into pieces.

When Dad's brain started failing, I started losing Dad.

When Dad's brain started failing, he started losing everyone.
