Apologies

M reminded Grandma of what she said to me the other night, and she apologized. People can tell you "it's the Alzheimer's talking -- don't take it to heart", but you do. A little piece of you shrivels up like a little raisin and it hurts. To hear that she apologized and said she didn't mean it really means a lot to me.

I wonder how much longer we'll have the opportunity to talk to her like this. Will she continue to be mean? Will she finally accept what's happening? If she does continue to be mean, how much longer will we be able to sit her down after the fact and hear an apology?

Prayers:
1. That she'll stop being mean.
2. That she'll find some way to accept this. She's grieving and angry, but I do hope she'll move on to whatever's next emotionally.
3. Peace for the entire situation.
4. For more creative ways of dealing with her.
