How much is too much info Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

How much info is too much?

By: Laura Louizos

My Mom knew most, she would tell me she didn’t want to know or talk about it....But she would always ask me questions and if she wanted to know something she would ask me to look it up. She never wanted to talk to others about her dying, sometimes it was because she was in denial a bit and other times she was just really scared about it. We had some good talks but there were many times she would stop me and say ok enough. I always went at her pace and if I knew the answer wasn’t what she was hoping for I would very gently tell her or soften it for her. My mom always had hope! We made the best of each day and took it day by day.

Sending you love and strength. There is no right or wrong...you do what you feel is best for you and your family ❤️

    “Handling it well”

    “You handled it so well.” Those words sting, a hollow echo far from my truth. I didn’t handle it. I unraveled, spiraling into the chaos of my own heart. My...
