My mother with me and my brother Kenny, circa 1954.
Me with Lisbeth, circa 1982.I haven't posted here in awhile. My mother died on January 24th. She was 89 and had Alzheimer's, and was ready to go. Relief and grief.
But, Lisbeth is doing better! Her mood as improved, her seizure activity is low, and her appetite is coming back. She sees her expressive arts therapist twice a week now - we feel that this is helping a great deal. She is still struggling with insomnia, though. We are considering taking her off of another one of her remaining (three) anti-epileptics. Perhaps her seizure activity is dwindling as she gets older...I've heard tell that this can happen!
Wow, do you ever look like your mom!! I'm so glad Lisbeth is doing better. I hope she continues to experience success.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your loss. Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures. And it's lovely to hear that Lisbeth is doing better.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your mom. Its such a weird feeling when relief and grief have to come together. I am amazed at how much Lisbeth looks like your mom though. It was one of the first things I noticed in the top picture!
ReplyDeleteThankyou, all! xox (and yes, there is a strong resemblance right down the line, but I have thought many times how much Lisbeth looks like my mother. Same close set eyes...:^)
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad to hear Lisbeth is doing better, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that the seizure activity is going to be permanently less.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences on the loss of your mother, Martha. Those two photographs together are unspeakably beautiful. And yes, even when there is relief, there is always grief with such a loss.
