I could really use some words of encouragement (family health issues).

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:So sorry to hear you are going through this. I can completely relate when you talk about suddenly seeing your father in a weak and vulnerable state. My father – a Vietnam vet who was always very physically fit, strong, and independent – was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 3 years ago. Every time I see him, he’s more shaky, appears weak, and appears to be aging very quickly. I’m not sure I have any words of encouragement, but I can tell you how I am (attempting to) handle it. I have decided to put away any differences we’ve had over the years, and I have decided that if there is anything I need to tell him, I’d better do it now. I don’t want to regret not expressing that I love him. My father has also realized that our differences mean sh*t, and has also shifted his priorities to spending time with family. Something to consider – it’s only been a week. Almost 2 years ago, one of my best friends had a heart attack (40 years old) and had stents put in. She looked awful immediately (and couple of weeks) following. But when I see her today, she looks like her old self.
