Sheri can tell now that Bob thoughts often come out of "Al's" mouth in an order that frustrates Bob. Trying to understand what Bob actually means... means Sheri needs to learn a new skill. You see she has decided that care giving really means care understanding and adapting. Sheri just needs to keep adapting to the changes she sees because "Al" can't see them.
She just needs to have the sensibility and the flexibility to keep adjusting the "plan."

Sheri, You and I are on an almost identical thought path - only mine is with my mother; yours with a spouse. That makes the emotional adjustment very different, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThere are many times I feel like we are playing word Jumble here too. Fustrating for Bob for sure and also one of the reasons I think he is getting more and more quiet.
