in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

We had a thread like this a few years ago. It was very popular. Post a pic of your LO during better times. I'll get it started. For some reason it gets blurry when I post it. This is Carole.

    This thread when first posted got me thinking about our loved ones right to not have their photos publicly displayed. If I were the PWD, my current self would not want to be seen in such a diminished state.

    This is no disrespect to Mayor Ed.

    Even though this is mom’s “diminished state”, on our plane trip moving her to be here with me in CO, she loved attention and I know she wouldn’t mind me sharing this with you, my supporters. Regardless, this was a better time. I love her and miss her so much!

    Thank you, mommy, for everything!

    This was maybe even a better time 😅

    Wonderful pictures! I think it helps to be reminded what our loved ones were like before Alzheimer’s. If I can figure out how to do it, I will try to post a picture.

    @White Crane I'm sure one of us can help. Which device are you using? Android phone? iPhone? Windows PC? Mac? Chromebook?

    I figured it out! This picture was taken probably 30 to 35 years ago and it’s one of my favorites.
