20 year old sister going to nursing home
| Tue, 03-13-2007 - 3:24pm |
My 20 year old sister is going to go into swingbed to await a nursing home opening. And my heart is breaking. I want someone to be angry at, someone to blame.
Anyway she has muscular dystrophy, which is so cruel. It is her body that doesn't work right, not her mind. She knows exactly what is happening to her. This is so completly unfair. I don't know how to sort out my feelings.

You can be angry...very very angry...at that blasted disease. It is the disease that has changed your life and your sister's. I know, my sister had systemic lupus and my mom had Alzheimer's. Both changed their lives, and both eventually killed them.
It is okay. The disease is not your sister. Write its name, rip up the paper.
It is okay.
