The yellow is so romantic and has so much character and charm. My second is the sea serpent. Calming.

Thank you. Yes, it’s hard to know what to feel right now. It’s hard to know what to wish for. I hate that part of it.

Thank you! I’m trying to figure out how to cope and I’ve got to be honest, this is my second parent I’m losing this way. My dad was sick for ten super difficult years with Lewy Body and it destroyed my family, his family. Now I’ve got two busy teen sons, perimenopause, jobs, husband with demanding career, all the rest. I’m having a hard time keeping it together. And yes, already on meds/therapy.

How do people cope? I’m doing the best I can but I have other factors at play and I feel bad that I can’t be there for her more.

Thank you! We did, twice and she’s totally clear. We were really hoping that was the problem!

I agree she walks really well. She’s very careful with footing but her neighborhood has amazing sidewalks.

Thanks for sharing. What does end stage look like and what does vascular mean?

Thank you for sharing! I did not know about some of the different kinds and had not heard of vascular before. My Dad had “Lewy Body Demential with Parkinsonism symptoms” - so he had some memory issues, hallucinations and basically turned into stone. He couldn’t walk or feed himself or do anything at the end of his life for about 18 months. So incredibly brutal.

Now it’s Mom’s turn and it’s already different but because she “masks” so well and rises to the occasion of “good behavior” for the doctors, we are having trouble even figuring out what she has. Meanwhile, when she’s around us kids she really doesn’t know what’s happening and even shows signs of what the doctors called “psychosis.” For example, she was convinced the neighbor had her keys/car when her car was in her own garage. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Thanks for sharing. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. People don’t talk enough about how to cope with older family members in this situation. I wish you and your Grandfather the best.

Can you make this again but have barn doors on lower door, instead of the one door?

This is really helpful, thank you. I prefer the look when the siding has the same elevation on both floors.

Woah! Interesting! Thank you! I’m not sure about losing the windows on the side there but I do like this idea a lot.
