RE: How I'm Handling My Mom's Declining Health

in Threespeak4 years ago

Whichever way things go, take care of yourself and your family first.

My father is now in palliative care on the other side of the world with @galenkp handling it all, which is definitely not pleasant and made worse as my father's Alzheimer's is so bad, he doesn't recognize anyone - we lost our mother in 2004 to cancer. Getting old sucks ass - but it sounds like your mother has had the kind of impact on the world that there are people who care deeply for her - that is a good way to have lived.

The best of who we are is often born from the worst of our experience.

Hello @tarazkp,

I am sorry about your father. It is a difficult situation. Each person has a particular condition, but I will dare to share the case of the mother of a friend of ours. Our friend is a chemist by profession and her mother was a nurse for much of her life, she is now 95 years old and suffers from Alzheimer's. She tried many treatments with her mother, but the last one has been almost miraculous.

She gives her mother a teaspoon of coconut oil on an empty stomach and a pill of Ginkgo Biloba with breakfast. Now her mother has improved markedly. I don't know if it will serve your father, but what they would lose by trying. Obviously, check with your brother @galenkp first and ask his treating doctor what he thinks about it.

Thank you for the tip about the coconut oil and Ginkgo Biloba... logged for future reference

You're welcome.

Sorry about it Taraz. Me and Galen talked about the situation. Stay strong bro

old age is so scary..

No be lie. Guy, it's so sad

Sincere apologies about what your father is facing.

The best of who we are is often born from the worst experience.

I totally agree especially when those experiences instilled life long lessons and in that we've resolved to do better or more.

I'm so sorry to hear that about your father and @galenkp's father. You have to put yourself in God's hands above all things and take good care of your parents with patience and affection @tarazkp

I am so sorry to hear about your father ... praying for you and yours too ...
