I've been searching for a site such as this. My aunt is in the final stages of Parkinsons Plus. She was diagnosed in 2006, and I have been her surrogate daughter for the past 19 years since my own mother, her sister, died. The cruel facts are all the same as I have read in previous posts, and I too sit and cry my heart out. I reached out to tell someone how much it hurts to watch my dear aunt suffer, and my reply back was simply, "keep me posted". This amazing woman who traveled extensively, climbed Mt. Kilimangaro, camped in amazing places throughout the world. Traveled all across the US, Europe, Asia and Africa. Loves classical music, opera, ballet and fine wine. Phi Beta Kappa, earned two master degrees, and the admiration of her employees wherever she worked. Cared deeply for me when I lost my parents. My heart is broken in pieces while she suffers in silence. I am married, have three beautiful children who adore her, and shower her with much love. My husband is like a devoted son to her, and we pray her burden will be lifted and no further suffering. It hurts to see such a wonderful woman endure such suffering, but her spirit remains always her eloquent self. God bless all caregivers and your loved ones. May our hearts find peace too.
