The Blue Velvet Drape: Dealing with Dementia

I began this blog shortly after my mother was diagnosed with the disease mostly to clear my head. With so much fear & frustration I started losing sleep. When Mom began forgetting I began to mourn losing her, it was so difficult to watch her slip away mentally over the years. I realized I began to distance myself from her. Mom passed away August 8, 2012 & I miss her everyday.

The Blue Velvet Drape: Dealing with Dementia: Her Daughter's Journal

Anne Balcom: Louisville, KY, United States; I'm married and a mom of two. My loves: My mothers strength (I sure do miss you Mom), my fathers youthful ways (he'll never grow old), my sister who is always "there", my daughters sweet nature, my sons goofy sense of humor, and my husbands patience and love for me no matter what.
