Happy Birthday Mom🌸

I can`t believe you`ve taken another dance with the angels😇. The pace at which time flies still astounds me, but its rapid movement has never diluted the memories of you or the warmth of your presence. It feels like you`re still right here with us in every quiet moment, every joyous celebration, and all of life`s little adventures.

I always take comfort in knowing that wherever you are, you`re watching over us. I`m happy to report that everyone is doing well despite life`s inevitable ups and downs. Lizzie is blossoming into a young adult as she starts high school, and I can`t help but think about how proud you`d be of her. Miss Sadie is navigating her way through college, and every so often, she shares a story that reminds me so much of you. Tessa and Nat, with their boundless energy and enthusiasm, have just kicked off their school year, and it`s heartwarming to see them flourish.

This year brought about some significant changes for us. We moved, and while settling into a new place always brings challenges, some moments feel like they`re straight out of the memories we shared. Every time I walk past Nichols 8,⛳️ I`m transported back to our tour of the course, and I can almost hear you commenting on the beauty around us, likening it to "Maui in the mountains." I am so grateful to live in such a beautiful place.

Speaking of Maui, my heart aches to share that Lahaina town was engulfed in a devastating fire. The beauty and life that once thrived there faced tragic losses. Seeing a place we both held dear in such pain is heart-wrenching. But I also remember how you always found strength in adversity and taught me to do the same. It`s a reminder that life is fleeting and that we should cherish every moment and memory like the ones we created as a family in Maui.

I share this letter as a tribute to you, a beacon of hope, and a testament to the enduring spirit of love. You taught us resilience, compassion, and the true meaning of family. I will never forget how you lived even when faced with the most devastating news. Your ability to laugh despite it all was nothing short of a miracle.

Love always,

Kelli ...

Mistaking Age for Ailment: Debunking Dementia Myths 🤔🧠

The aroma of my Aunt Lilly`s freshly baked cookies 🍪 wafted through our home as I sat at the dining table, memories flooding in. During one such quiet moment, a close friend 👭, with a hint of concern in her eyes, asked, "Do you think your aunt has dementia?"

The weight of that question 🤔 hung in the air. I`d been asked this multiple times before, forcing me to pause each time.

It`s imperative to note that dementia isn`t a single disease. It`s an overarching term that covers a variety of medical conditions, including Alzheimer`s disease 📉, which is the most prevalent.

One common misconception I`ve encountered is equating dementia with the natural progression of aging ⏳. However, while it`s true that as we age, there may be a slight reduction in our cognitive abilities – perhaps a challenge in picking up a new hobby or language or being a bit more forgetful – it`s not synonymous with dementia. This mild decline is, in fact, a part of the natural aging process that almost all of us will experience.

Yet, what`s crucial to remember is that many conditions can mimic dementia`s symptoms. Depression 😞, imbalances in nutrition 🍎, side effects from certain medications 💊, or even sheer emotional distress can manifest in ways similar to dementia, such as difficulties in communication, memory lapses, or behavioral changes.

So, every time someone inquires, concerned, about their loved ones ❤️, I emphasize the importance of seeking medical advice 🩺.

"In the journey of understanding, it`s compassion that illuminates the path. Let`s not jump to conclusions; instead, let`s seek clarity." ...

The Silent Strain of Caregiving: Resentment 🌋

Today, let`s discuss something more sensitive but essential: Caregiver Resentment.

Do you ever feel the weight of caregiving pushing you down? Like it`s all on YOU? 💼🔗 Maybe you`re the one shouldering the financial burdens, or perhaps you`re the go-to for day-to-day needs. It`s easy to start feeling...resentful.

The danger? 💥 When unchecked, this resentment can boil over, morphing into anger. And before you know it, the bond you share with your family starts to crack. 🥀

Here`s the thing: It`s natural to feel like caregiving is unequal among family members. 🙍‍♀️🙍‍♂️ But let`s pause and consider a few things:

1️⃣ Soft Skills - Not everyone contributes in the same way. Someone might not be there financially but supports emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. These skills, although subtle, are invaluable.

2️⃣ Timing & Circumstances - Remember, everyone`s life is different. 🕰️ A sibling might have young kids in school or other commitments. It`s not that they don`t care; they have different priorities at the moment.

3️⃣ Open Conversations - Speak out! 🗣️ Share your feelings with family members. Sometimes, they might not be aware of the pressure you`re under. A heart-to-heart can work wonders.

Lastly, self-reflection is crucial. ✨ Are we assigning roles based on outdated expectations? Maybe we have not considered the unique strengths each person brings.

Before the pot of resentment overflows, let`s understand, communicate, and re-strategize. 🌊

Please drop a comment below 🗣️💬 and share how you navigate these challenging feelings, and let`s support one another in this journey.

Remember, compassion begins at home, sometimes with understanding our emotions first. 🏠❤️ ...
