![]() JOAN’S BLOG – TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2007 – GET A LIFE! – A NECESSITY FOR AD SPOUSES. My ideas Read the love stories But when that person we adored, depended on, and loved passionately, begins to fade away If we do not cultivate interests Yes, it is difficult to get out now – our spouses do not feel safe without us nearby; it is not always possible to leave them alone or find someone to stay with them, but for our own sanity and life preservation, we must find the time and support necessary to get away for at least one day a week, and participate in non-Alzheimer, non-caregiving activities with non-Alzheimer, non-caregiving friends One of our readers despaired that when her AD journey was over, she would have no energy and no friends. This would be a tragedy that need not happen. I believe Sandi expressed it best on the Message Boards, when she said –“ I made a conscious decision a long time ago that I would not let this disease claim two victims.” Join Sandi in making that conscious decision for yourselves – GET A LIFE NOW -, so that in the end, you will have loving memories Feedback to joan@thealzheimerspouse.com ©Copyright 2007 Joan Gershman ![]()
