This Blog's Purpose

This blog’s purpose? There are many, and each as important in its own way.

I want to call attention to our plight, ours meaning mine and Mother’s; provide a glimpse of the daily struggle caregivers face while trying to care for someone they love at home; shed light on the disgraceful condition of elder care in most areas of the medical field, at least as we’ve experienced it; and share my brutally honest thoughts and emotions, both past and present, as well as precious memories of life before our heartbreaking journey began. I just want…and need…to share our story. To just write.

Writing has become a dependable old friend. It takes me to places within myself that I cannot reach by any other means. It fills my head with thoughts, with words, that once released set me free until the next flurry of thoughts and words fill my mind. It’s good therapy for me, and right now I need its comfort, its relief. So I invite you to read what you will, to take this personal journey with me, always knowing that what you read comes from my heart.

Till next time,
Sharon
