Does it ever upset you ....

[Mskanga]

That when you answer to someone's post about something that you are actually going through too, some people just ignore that you are hurting too? It happened to me today.
Maybe it just felt like a kick in the stomach for me because I am dealing with it right now and I'm oversensitive, I don't know , but it sure hurt.

It happens to me all the time. I guess being a teacher, I'm use to people not hearing what I say.

Didn't read the post, so I'll send you a and some pixie dust and hope everything is better soon for you!

I know what you are saying, Olga. I think sometimes people will read an OP, and maybe answer it without reading other replies, like yours as you are describing here. Other times, maybe a few replies, then their reply. I sometimes will read replies, all of them , sometimes some of them, sometimes, though rare, none of them. When I do read of a similar situation to the OP in the replies, I try to acknowledge it if I can.

I did not see yours you are mentioning here (I don't think), but do offer you a now, hoping you feel better about your own situation.

Unfortunately in my case , it will result in the death of my mom, it cannot get better.
That's why it hurts.

Mskanga - I did not read the original thread that you posted to today, but I did just do a search so that I could read of your situation. Thank you for pointing it out to us. What Dan said is so true about people not always reading every response given to the original poster of the thread.

I am so sorry that you and your family have come face to face with the horrifying disease of Alzheimer's. Your mom is relatively young, and I don't understand why things like this happen. I am praying for your mom and for all of you that God will see you through the coming days, months, and years. Please let us know how you are doing from time to time. I don't have much experience with Alzheimers, but please feel free to PM me anytime.

Krista

I hope you find the strength to make it through your troubles.

 

[Dan Murphy]

You both are in my prayers, Olga.

I missed your post too but I'm so very sorry. I lost my Mom just 8 months ago to Cancer & now my aunt (Mom's sister) was admitted to the hospital today as she was bleeding internally. She's had parkinson's for many many years so this is not looking good. I know how it feels to watch people you love suffer.

Hang on tight to your best memories of your Mom. Do whatever you can to make her feel comfortable & even if she doesn't know who you are now, one day when you meet again, she will remember everything.

I'll be thinking of you.

Mskanga,
I do feel your pain. My grandfather did not have Alzheimer's but he did have Parkinson's disease. He got so bad that it was just pathetic. I remember that they invited us to participate in a experimental treatment at Emory University in 1995. My grandfather looked that Doctor right in the eye and told him he would rather die than live the way he was living. Well, the Doctors decided he was not the right "candidate". My grandfather killed himself four months later. I still don't understand how he found the strength to wheel himself to the curio cabinet and get the gun, but he did. I'm not mad at the Doctors, I'm just glad he is out of pain.

I just lost my mother to Alzheimer's a few months ago, it's a horrible disease, and even worse to watch our loved one go through. I do understand. I didn't read the thread about Alzheimer's because it's still too fresh for me to discuss, but if you'd like, please feel free to PM me.

MsKanga, just one more big for you...I'm so sorry to hear about your mom

Yup happened here before and you wonder why that person said something that could be so hurtful to others. I have replied to a comment that was left once.

 

[tiggerlover]

Olga, I just went back and searched out your post and I am so sorry to hear about your mom's decline. I wish there were more I could say or do for you.

In regards to your question, yes, it does hurt to be overlooked like that. Perhaps though people aren't reading all of the responses, I know myself when I only have a short time I will read the OP and then reply without reading what others say, so maybe that is the case.

I just sent you a PM.

<font face="times" size="+0">MsKanga... *hugs* i'm sorry about your mom, especially at such a young age!
i did just reply to Lisa's post too... and i didn't specifically mention you or many of the other members who have gone through the same thing... only because like Dan was mentioning, i'm one who usually replies directly to the OP.
this does not mean that i do not feel for you and everyone else going through this hardship! please don't feel sad or upset... </font>

{{{HUGS}}} Olga. So sorry to hear about your mom. I didn't read the original thread but as others have said I will ofen just reply to the OP and not look through every reply. Your post has shown me that on topics like that it is a good thing to do as you might find others hurting as well.

 

[Mskanga]

Mary you are right, sometimes in a serious issue I think it would be nice to read all the responses , especially because when someone answers , sometimes they are going through the same agony and a word of comfort can go a long way, like it was with me yesterday, especially when the post doesn't have several pages of responses.
I had a good cry last night, maybe that's what I just needed.
