Bill, I am not a PWP -- my mother Joyce has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Plus. However, I loved your steps. I am not a religious person and am always amazed when I run across things like your step 12: Last, but most importantly, Whatever your religion or belief, get in > touch with your God. > He will give you the strength and courage you need . > What my mother is going through has not only made it impossible for me to believe in a God -- it makes even my unanswered wishes for her good health seem vacant and frivilous. But I admire all of you on the list who do believe and realize that it must be an enormous comfort and benefit. I just don't know how you get there from here. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
