Hello,
My mom was diagnosed in December 2011, with symptoms two years before. Her disease has progressed quickly. She has lost the ability to speak, eat, use he right hand, and now slowly is losing her strength in her legs and left hand. I'm so scared. It's all been going so fast for me.
My mom and I are very close. She is my best friend. Seeing her slowly slip away is heartbreaking. I am very depressed, stressed out. At first I didn't think about it much, was In denial. We all acted like she was fine in the beginning, and now I'm finding it really hard to come to terms with it. I'm once again going back to the depression and low self esteem/confidence I finally got past before this all happened. I'm 21. Im looking for some ideas and help with caring for my mom as well as dealing with the sadness.
Thank you
