It could well be that Dad needs some help, comfort or just someone around in the late afternoon/evenings, but not so much in the mornings. In Aged Care centres they call it 'sundowning', (ie at dusk) that's when a person feels most vulnerable and needs some guidance. cheerskaiteMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299002622308267375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-3540393922746909272012-05-10T23:33:09.423-04:002012-05-10T23:33:09.423-04:00Anonymous is me.

It's a hard time...I did it in our home with my mom for a year and a half before she died at 82. She had dementia so was often "over the mountains"...or out in left field... it was the hardest part of her life I am sure and ours too. But I'm glad I was there for her.Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-77330526911543416872012-05-10T13:04:43.502-04:002012-05-10T13:04:43.502-04:00ps a hurricane has a very still center :)ps a hurricane has a very still center :)mansuetudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03805383049085040581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-72762534398583224482012-05-10T13:03:43.626-04:002012-05-10T13:03:43.626-04:00ah, i know this story.
