When People Fall Off The Radar Screen

(Source: Highlands Today) - A recent article in The Huntsville Times

told of the death of two women who lived together. They were mother

and daughter. One was age 63. She was the caregiver for her 89-year-

old mother who had Alzheimer's disease.

The daughter apparently died from a heart attack in their home -

unbeknown to neighbors or friends. Subsequently, her mother starved

to death.

You're probably asking, " How could this have happened? Didn't anyone

check on them? " But think about it. How easily could that happen in

your neighborhood? Might we sometimes be confused between what is

interfering and what is caring? Either way, interfering or caring

could have saved one or perhaps two lives. If the caregiver had had a

buddy who called every morning and evening, things might have ended

differently.
