Subject: RE: BS: a kind of bereavement
Hooray for the good soul who mentioned music. A very dear friend of mine spent several years with Alzheimers and the one thing she could enjoy was music, she even sang along occasionally. We made cds for her of songs from her youth and...she remembered most of them and could sing to them. We also took her tapes of old radio shows. Although she did not recall them she enjoyed listening to them. Although she did not recognize us as her family and friends, she did know us as the people who brought the songs.. not a bad way to be known, really. My heart goes out to you> I wish you well and hope that you may take heart from those who have been through this before.
