New here, loss of mom, dad with Alzheimer's

[cokieslittlegirl]

No worries Jenn. I sway in and out of insanity daily.  We all have and have had our moments, both publicly and privately. It's ok. Just know you're not alone.  You will make it through this some way, have patience with yourself. Have patience with us too

Ditto on the insanity. I find myself angry or incoherent at the strangest times---have walked out of the grocery store leaving a full cart behind, becase I felt like I was going to lose it and wanted to get home where I felt safe.

Also I find myself struggling with relationships that used to be great--with my husband, two kids, and close friends.  It's almost as if my dad's death has made me a different person and I will never be able to relate to anyone like I used to, without this huge wall.  I know that doesn't make logical sense and that as time passes I will have a new "normal". For right now though it all just makes me more frustrated, and impatient to be a functioning person again.
