Slow Dancing with a Stranger
This really life story truly catch my thought. I have a friend
that her son has bipolar. Also some other’s friend close relatives have similar
diseases like doctor Gralnick.
And I and my pastor and some other church members have been visiting and serving the nursing home, rehabilitation center and senior apartment for some time. I truly can see what she see and feel about it, the depression, burden, hurt, pain, worry, fear, hopeless and many other down words that you cannot even image and describe about it.
But no one can say more about how much they can feel what they feel, simply because you are not the one who’s involved with that personally.
Again she is a hero; such a courageous and strong woman can take it and willing to take care of her love ones, her husband and her mom, when they are literally and gradually losing all they used to have including, all the senses.
Such a shame, such a brilliant doctor and lady, used to cure and help some many others, now is in deep sick. There’s no way out and no turning point.

Stay with home care or go to the nursing home facilities, is
really hard to say or make the decisions.
This book also is an encouragement to who are in the same circumstance.
A reference for the people who is going to involve with as a caregiver, either
as a relative or outsider, it probably as well relieve some old doubts or
misunderstanding from the past between relatives, friends and so forth.
Some of the touching quotes from her book.
"He has slowly been robbed of what we all take for
granted—the ability to navigate the mundane activities of daily living:
bathing, shaving, dressing, feeding, and using the bathroom. His inner clock is
confused and can't be reset. His eyes are vacant and unaware."
“If neglected they did not remember and if abused they forget “.
"No one deserves to be forgotten in
life because their disease is without hope."
