A Personal Journey

Lost in thoughtAging
Like many baby boomers, we are at the stage in life, where we must watch helplessly as our parents grow old. Losing control mentally and physically, each day is a struggle.
With my siblings, I have been involved with my mother’s care and wish I could make it better. It’s difficult to watch your parents in diapers, while now the roles reverse.
I have chosen to document my mother’s struggle, perhaps to show what she cannot herself express.

I have been photographing for over 30 years and love to see the world through my camera. It gives me a voice as well as entree to places I may not normally be privy to. In addition, my camera enables me to meet people and make observations in day to day life.

  7. Hi Susie I am very touched by your posting. It is a difficult road that you are all traveling. I have been visiting my aunt weekly, along with my cousins and it is similar for her. Give a call when you guys are free. Liz

  8. Hi Susie. I am glad you are documenting your Mom. Inside as my Mom said, we are all in our prime. It is difficult to rectify the outside body with the inside spirit. She’s still your same old Mom inside.
