DEMENTIA... A LIFE UNRAVELED
Visitor Comments (2)
Dear Barbara,
Thank you for your kind comment on Vonda's blog.
This poem is both beautiful and heart-wrenching. I can hear your pain for your dad. My dad had a long, tormented struggle with cancer before he died. Watching him suffer for three years brought many questions to the surface of my heart. But God answered them all by letting me experience His sovereignt first hand.
It's painful to watch someone so strong, someone who held you up for many years, slip away from you by inches.
I pray God will provide solace for you and rest for your dad.

Oh, Barbara, what a beautiful but painful poem you have written! I'm sure many who are going through something similar will appreciate your willingness to share the stark, cruel reality with which you are dealing right now. Knowing there's no way through it except...well, through it..must seem so overwhelming sometimes. Fortunately, there is no dream or nightmare ... no "cruel wasteland"...too far for God to find you and your father both. I pray that you may feel His presence, inside yourself and through the ministrations of professionals and the caring gestures of loved ones. Elizabeth
