I was just looking over the statistics for my blog, and I was pretty gratified to see that someone is actually reading my posts now and then. But I am a little surprised that no one every writes back!
That's ok, because I mainly write for myself, I started this when my brother was in medical crisis (he's not anymore) and it was, andis, very therapeutic for me to just get my feelings out. When I am upset about something in relationship to my brother, it makes me feel better just to get it on paper.
I also feel it's a good way to document that relationship with the nursing home, in case there is ever some legal issue that arises.
I'm writing this particular post because I know that at siblings conferences this blog is sometimes mentioned. I just wanted to invite more people to blog about their experiences, both for themselves and for others, too.
I know this sounds pretty morbid, but I am happy there is a written record of this experience that either I and/or my family members will have to remember my brother by. It's a human life, and it's important to document the experience.
My brother has had a very hard life, and he doesn't complain much. It doesn't take much to make him happy. I just want people to know that.
