You know deniae, feeling like that is part of grief we are already going through as our partners go down this path. We are angry at what is happening to them and to us. In some ways we don't understand why. We pray, we try to bargain, try to understand why, etc. and we feel alone in this journey.
I think that when things finally do come to the final end, we will have gone through most of the stages of grief and be more accepting. But then, what do I know.
One more thing, I also think that when this thing, illness, dementia, starts to happen to the husband's of friends of mine they will be calling me to talk and give them comfort etc. I don't know if I will be able to do that. Does that sound mean or strange? These are people that we all know who start to distance themselves from us when our journey started and we needed help, a listening ear, a hand with shopping, etc.

TOTALLY get it, my friend. Religious beliefs, to me, are a private matter and shouldn't be used as weapons. Good comes from good and bad comes from bad. At least that's what I believe. Each of us should be able to believe (or not believe) what is best for each of us. To me actions always speak louder than lip service. NOBODY "knows" for certain about a thing. No one can. Whatever "salvation " may lie ahead for us or whatever "judgment" may happen later shouldn't be something we, here on earth, are meant to obsess over. There is the here and now we must focus on if we are to survive life's challenges and celebrate the joy it offers. 💞
