A Mountain Too High (Aging Parents, Personal Stories)
A Mountain Too High chronicles JeanMac’s joys and trials to being a full time caregiver to her husband who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at age 58.
Below is JeanMac’s first blog post.
Our Journey
Words can’t really explain the journey but I’ve decided to try. We were not prepared or outfitted for this one – no itinerary or map, no reference points, no “pioneers before” (who we knew) to share their experiences. Only a vale to walk through – a mountain to climb, sometimes shrouded in fog but always enveloped in love.
Was hoping for more time in the vale but I think we have reached the base of the mountain. Looking up, it seems formidable – the vale so easy.
The climb will be tackled as the vale – small steps at a time, hand in hand, hopefully resting a while at each stage – resting a long while at each stage.
