Easing Alzheimer's
My husband and I have been together for a very long time. Our children have all grown up and we are alone together again, only now things are different, because Tommy has Alzheimer's. It's been eight years now and while I've been coping pretty well with it, I still go to a support group once a month. That's where I am able to hear other people's stories and count my blessings that I have Johrei in my life.
I was an in-home caregiver for years, and the reason I always had work was because I could handle the patients who were hard to manage. I was given the cases where the people would be up all night rummaging through drawers and refusing to change their clothes or their bedding. They were the belligerent ones that no one else wanted.I was able to calm them down with Johrei.
Now I do the same with Tommy. If he is refusing care, I just sit myself down on the edge of his bed and give him Johrei. Half an hour later, he let's me change his clothes or his wet sheets without a fuss. He also sleeps right through the night because I give him Johrei every day, sometimes twice a day.
I count my lucky stars, because there are others in the support group who had to put their loved ones in a home after only six months. It's Johrei that's allowed him to stay home with me.
