Sincerely, Ayan

Comment from RShipp
What an observant and loving way to picture this dreaded disease- Alzheimer's.
The way you used the interjections of "'but I' and I see' and 'I make' was perfect.
Well done.

Thank you for this kind review.
Comment from Markie Doczi
This is very moving.
My Gramps had Dimentia and it was terrible to watch. He once sat us grand kids down during a moment of clarity and let us know that he loved us all and that whenever he would say or do things that didn't make sense, to remember that it wasn't him talking.

Markie, Thank you for the review. I recognize what you said about your grandmother.
Comment from estory
You had a strong image of that shadow on the wall to start this poem, I thought it was a great image that shows how much your husband has shrunk from participating in life and being fleshed out in it. We see in your perspective this great distance that has opened out between you, how you are reduced to just watching like a mother, but in this there is also this raised experience of observing a soul. This has a lot of depth that is not easy to reach in one glance. estory

Comment from JudyE
Alzheimer's is an awful disease. As you say so eloquently, the whole personality changes and it must be like dealing with a stranger. Certainly 'the chaos of our lives' says it all.

I See Lost Days
by Marjon van Bruggen
Hello, Marjon,
"Ashame to exist" such powerful phrase. It must be very hard to watch your beloved husband deteriorating right in front of you. You're a very strong woman. Well done.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You describe the times that it seems you have become the 'mother'. You want to remember the good times with your husband, but the present ravages of the disease is taking him away from you. There is no longer a 'couple.' Both seem lost as to what is happening to each. I like the way you formatted the lines with some lines of just one word for emphasis or a 'break.'
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Ii is hard to understand anyone with Alzheimer's Disease no matter how much you long too. My brother-in-law has it now. I feel so sorry for his wife.

Yes, it seems terribly unfair for you to suffer all these indignities, but the truth is, life isn't fair or unfair definitively, it's not that simple, it is simply what it is, and we have negotiate the paths of existence as best we can, knowing God is with his, all knowing, all seeing. Beautifully written, and excellent post, blessings Roy
