My job search has been suspended, at least for now. My husband has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, so I am learning how to navigate this new chapter in our lives. I would love to find part-time remote work doing UM/UR, but I have not found anything at this point. I have applied to a couple of remote positions on LinkedIn, but have not received any response. I am thinking, perhaps after the first of the year, I may reach out to my professional contacts and see if anything develops through that avenue. I will need a remote position, since my husband seems to be progressing more quickly than anticipated with this horrible disease. He has his good days, and his bad days, but I do worry about him being alone for very long.
In the meantime, I am enjoying spending time with my precious granddaughter. I cherish this time with her, and she is growing so quickly.
I have only been posting here very sporadically, but I am setting a goal of posting at least once a month going forward. In the meantime, I would love to hear other perspectives on living with a spouse that has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Below are a couple of thoughts I clumsily put together:
The world is as if it’s burning,
The rivers disappear.
Sometimes I find myself wondering,
Why am I still here?
Is it a blessing or a curse,
From the God I hold so dear?
A peaceful feeling comes upon me,
“Peace be with you, for I am near”.
The Spirit whispers to me and calms my weary mind.
My work is not complete,
There are more mountains to climb.
