It´s not any harder than it´s ever been It just seems that way cos we´re in between From youth to old age what we cannot find We still hope will be there..........in the great online
and what about..............flowers, jewellery, clothes, shoes, handbags, make up, cars, boats, planes...........AND.........cuddles, romance, chats............the list is endless.
I think CS can develop into the ¨real¨ world if the two parties involved wish it to be. There are ¨real¨ people at the other end of the screen, and many beautiful hours can be spent getting to know them. I, personally, would not be looking to spend just 24 beautiful hours with someone.
It seems to me that if you introduce someone, and Lyle takes to that person, you shouldn´t have a problem. With dementia they don´t remember who they´re talking to half the time anyway. As long as they feel comfortable with the carer then the time you are missing will hardly be noticed.
Well in answer to the thread...to love is MUCH easier, from the point of view of personal well-being. However, people do and say things which do not meet with our own personal vision of the truth and produce anger in us which can turn to hate, if permitted. Self-control and awareness is the key to allowing the loving feelings to surface. Hate is a very strong and nasty word and feeling, as are most of the opposites of "good".
I have two friends who's husbands are in varying stages of altzheimers. From my observation of the progress of both cases I would say it is advisable to get a plan of help in action immediately. It is impossible to manage on your own. Will pray for you.
