Good afternoon Crazies&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b319/hazelson/sunshine.gif" border="0" class="linked-image" /><br /><br /><br />Sunny again today.  Getting out in the yard is wonderful - really gets rid of the winter clues.<br /><br />Had a good session with the counsellor - she told me to look at things as if Mom has &quot;passed on&quot; into a happier place - she spends a lot of time with my Dad and her best friend both of whom died years ago.  The &quot;Mom&quot; I have left is sort of a shell - and I am not to try to reason with her or argue with her because it&#39;s not going to happen :o)  She also said I have been in the grieving process for a while now - so that explains things.    As for Mom&#39;s eating - apparantly people with alzeimers are seldom hungry but they do manage to eat enought o keep themselves healthy.  I have to learn to sort of distance myself and just enjoy Mom as she is now and not worry about her so much.  Once a week for visits and every third day a phone call.  Will have to see about that VBG
