well, my mother is quite ill (alzheimer disease) and thus i try to visit her in slovakia as often as possible ... thanks goodness, she lives at my youngest brother's place in bratislava now. it is not only much, much better for her than staying alone in kosice, but also easier for me to reach them from munich :-)
well, i'm trying to sort my thoughts and to say something to my mother, but i do not think she is ready to listen / understand it as she is still captured in a situation which broke her vital energy some 10 or 15 years ago. dear mother, why can't you stop crying about the past and start to look forward? there is so much life in front of you which you could enjoy, but you are still looking back and not willing to drop the past where it belongs. relationships sometimes break apart, so what? no matter how hard it is for you what happened, you can't change the past. but you could change your perspective, couldn't you?
... more coming soon or never ... please find a great guidance for help to alzheimer patients by vera f. birkenbihl in her 13 minutes video (in german) at the very end of this blog post
