It was so good, I had to read five more posts from John Pavlovitz. He is surely writing things that need to be said. I really liked this quote:<br /> <br /> (What the heck did Jesus know about being Christian anyway? He wasn’t white, Republican, or Evangelical.)<br /><br />But it seems like most folks (me included) don't have ears to hear the things that other people think I need to hear. If only I could open my heart to what Donald Trump really is saying...<br />But most of the time, most of us only read/listen to things that reinforce our existing beliefs. I am puzzled how to change that.<br />I do know I'd rather be puzzled about a lot of things than certain about everything.<br /><br />Ted of YakimaMuddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108864648232350814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713480180600307537.post-40162155660402171342015-02-12T17:26:40.642-06:002015-02-12T17:26:40.642-06:00Just continue to love her and tell her how much yo...Just continue to love her and tell her how much you love her.

It sounds as though that's a dead end. You're going to have to deal with this without her now. She's going to lash out, but that will be a part of her illness that you'll have to accept you're not equipped to deal with. I guess the best thing you can do is to leave when she gets that way. Remember that she is not doing it on purpose, and that no amount of explanation is going to make a difference to her. I know it might help you feel better, but it doesn't seem to impact her at all. It seems very much like dealing with a small child. Little kids have tantrums and oftentimes the best way to deal with a tantrum is to ignore it, rather than to explain why they shouldn't be having the tantrum. This is not a reasonable disease, therefore, it can't be treated with reason. Her lashing out is a symptom just as any other disease has symptoms for which you simply aren't equipped to deal with. That is not your job anymore. Your job is to make sure she is cared for to the best of your ability. The rest is really out of your hands, as painful as that may be.<br /><br />TeaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713480180600307537.post-47507671917200904462009-09-08T04:02:06.347-05:002009-09-08T04:02:06.347-05:00Wow!

It's seen most frequently in infants and the elderly, but as to what goes wrong into the absorption of spinal fluid in some people is, as yet unknown.<br /><br />It's suspected that some cases of "Alzheimer's" may actually be undiagnosed NPH. <br /><br />I'm certain there is a great deal of fear, she wants desperately to cling to her health, and if that's not possible would prefer to just pass quietly rather than slip away like this. :(Dezdmonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05755385980620589499noreply@blogger.com
