Hello everyone. I haven't posted for quite a while,since losing my dad in March. (I do visit the forum from time to time and read the threads, but it is just so painful still. I have tears running down my face right now.) What I'd like to know is when I will stop thinking of Dad's last months when I remember him and not the dad I knew all my life.(Before he had ALS.) Now, whenever I think of him the images in my mind are painful ones, where he has ALS, and all the anguish on his part and mine, as he spent his last few months. (He had a very fast-paced course of the disease.) It hurts so much that I try not to think of him too much because of the images that come into my mind. When will I just remember Dad in a "normal" way? With every memory, the ALS intrudes. This Thanksgiving, all I'll remember is last year, when Dad sat in another room, unable to eat, while the rest of us talked and ate. It's just so sad. Please, to whoever has gone through this, how long till I just remember Dad and not Dad suffering with ALS?
