In moving my parents to assisted living and then my Dad to Memory Care, I knew nothing about the process. I had to ask for help, something I have never been comfortable with. However, everywhere I turned I was met with such kindness. I think most people are willing to help when asked.Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245401146027815045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513022067297559508.post-2459140946466240882015-10-24T14:47:24.010-07:002015-10-24T14:47:24.010-07:00The Mother Theresa quote is interesting- I think w...The Mother Theresa quote is interesting- I think we all doubt and feel inadequate at times. I remember a lady I really looked up to- she always seemed so full of faith and joy whatever her circumstances, until one day she was really struggling with something and asked for prayer. I think she felt bad about it but it was actually good to see that side of her- that she was human after all and that she had the humility to ask for help. It is a courageous and compassionate thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513022067297559508.post-19596603775995486382015-10-24T11:40:48.434-07:002015-10-24T11:40:48.434-07:00I often feel selfish when helping because it feels...I often feel selfish when helping because it feels so good to do so (I try not to think about that too much). I had no idea Mother Theresa also doubted and felt empty - who would have guessed? Even people we look up to are just human after all. (Loved your description of a confabulation....it's amazing how quickly those untruths set root and grow)....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099745639992217438noreply@blogger.com
