Lu, it was nice to see my mom and brother. I seldom dream of either of them anymore. I've lost two brothers now. It was my eldest brother I dreamt of last night. He died so young. He was only 57.

But, it is always nice to see them.

The dreams probably don't mean anything.

idk if dreams mean anything either Gershun,but Iv'e been dreaming some weird dreams lately and I wonder where they came from.
I bet it was nice to see your Mother and brother in your dreams though.
When I dreamed about my Dad,I felt like we'd been together and it was just great to see him.

I had dreams of my deceased mom and brother last night. I was doing laundry
and it started to overflow. My mom came over to help and said "you are too preoccupied" Then I realized I'd put the clothes in the washer still on the hangers.

Then I dreamt I was coming home from a long walk in the snow and my brother said "how do you walk so long?"

Not sure what those dreams mean, if anything.

Well , sis ended up in the hospital last night . More of the same already on the first day of the new year .
I’m hoping for my nephew’s sake , it leads to permanent placement this time . He’s exhausted . 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

My dream last night was about my mom. She's been gone from the planet for 4 years, but ever present in my mind and dreams. This time: I come home and ask the people there (presumably family members but not specified in the dream) where Mom is. They say she went for a walk and I ask if she went by herself. They say yes, suddenly realizing that it was wrong of them to allow it. I run out the door to find her in a panic..... I wake up and am reminded of the caregiving stress for all those years. Life is more peaceful now, but I miss her.

Happy New Year, everyone. While I am not a fan of Christmas (except for the decorations) I sure am of the New Year. It is always "hopeful" for me (until I switch over to saying "This is an AWFUL year!!!!")

I want to wish EVERYONE HERE the BEST OF HEALTH in this coming year. Y'all are STRONG, and with health, you can handle ANYTHING ELSE!

Merry Christmas to all of you who read this thread.
The collective energy is perhaps the most healing aspect of AC allowing us all an opportunity to share our lives and stories with kindred spirits, providing emotional support to one another and a safe place to heal from the struggles of life. Wishing you laughter, reflection with a measure of peace and joy.

Happy Christmas to all my old friends🤗

Happy Christmas to all the Care Givers, the ‘helpers who post on the site’, and to the people who need Help. We all need each other! And we all are very grateful for the other people who care enough to answer our posts, even if we don't agree with their advice.

This site gives more than some people might understand, to both the regular responders and to the people with problems. I have a lot to cope with, because of a painful spine problem. 'Giving / posting’ on this site takes me time which is comfortable me, and I hope helpful to others as well. Lots of love to all, Happy Christmas, Margaret

one of my favorite quotes because it’s so true.

many caregivers here on this forum who have non-helping siblings, will have experienced this.

"People will fight over your money and anything you leave,
but won't fight over taking care of you while you're sick and dying."

Thx. Way. I have a big humidifier going day and night. These days I have to fill it every 2nd day. I've had chronic infections and as long as I use a saline or peroxide spray regularly they stay pretty good. Getting better with decongestant and lots of saline. We are into winter cold, and ice now, Minus 9 F feels like minus 20F and snowing over night. I guess that' how she goes for the next few months.

Golden .

Sorry to hear about your sinuses . Is it due to the house being dry with the heat on ? Maybe a humidifier would help .
We had a colder day today . Tomorrow not as bad.

way - I'll tackle it when I feel better - rotten sinus issues. My cell phone is acting up with the change over which is another pain. And 7 weeks later we still don't have the car on for repairs. Altogether minor but a nuisance.

Thanksgiving day would be a trigger for you, and your sis with dementia too. That makes it hard. It was wise not to invite her, if hard on your nephew. It woud be nice for all if Christmas works out.

I'm sorry about your neighbour and her daughter. That's very young. How sad for her family.

firefly - yes it is a big loss and it is a dreadful disease. I'm sure in time you will adapt, but I know it isn't easy. (((((hugs))))

I had a rough day today. Don't know why but my guess is I'm still grieving the loss of my relationship with my husband. He's the one I confided in and was who I talked to about everything even though neither of us are perfect, it's a loss.
I had to go to social security today to become his designated representative and almost burst into tears in front of the nice man that was helping me. Caught myself, did okay for a while, and then it happened again. It was one of those days. It's so overwhelming to know that this is now my life, and his. God is and has been very good to us. I hope he lets me know how I'm supposed to live without the support of my best friend. What an awful disease!!!
