I thank you for your support, and comments. Elizabeth
A sensitive portrayal of extreme old age and of a tired old mind losing touch with reality. Beautifully written.
Hi,
Very nicely written, yet sad. I'm not quite there age wise but sometimes I can sympasize. My wife and I do have some good friends that are in their eighties and beyond.
Where did you see my name?
I'm new to this and have a few short entries here.
A long one which I'm proud of. And a shoter one...not for just anyone. I was in a stange mood when I wrote that late one night.

Very well written. A difficult and sad subject that many people can relate to. The character was very realistic. My own mother who died at 88 had children in her home 'spying' on her. She was fiercely independent and wouldn't live with any of her middle aged children so I can relate completely with your character. Thought provoking, thanks.
Thanks, issybee. Yes, this was a very difficult piece to write, I have edited it many times over, even at times, put it away: but it kept calling me back. I know the general public wants mostly to read pieces that doesn't sit like a thorn in their sides, but this piece has been... mehr anzeigen
A rather sad story about getting old but a brilliantly written story none the less. Good work.
Thank you very much for your read and comments. I appreciate your time and support. Elizabeth
What a beautifully written and descriptive story. You brought your character to life so well. You have my vote. Good work and good luck.
Thanks, Leshea. I appreciate all comments on my work. I especially value other writers' comments because they have walked that path of hope, and that path of reaching hearts and minds. Elizabeth
How well I can relate. ;-) I've watched my grandmother slip away from being able to communicate for the last few years. I knew she was getting frustrated because the words she wanted to say weren't the ones that would come out. As for her present state of mind, I know she recognizes familiar faces and I can only hope she carries the best memories with her.
From the perspective of someone who's faculties are slipping away. What fear and confusion a person must feel. The author has done a wonderful job of putting the reader into that person's place and giving us a glimpse of the jumbled world they might see and experience, an experience outside of the ordinary, one that's almost ghostly. Very well done!
Thanks, Rob, for taking the time to read and comment on my work. I am very glad you were able to step inside my character's space; I am deeply grateful that my words have achieved their goal. Elizabeth
Loved it. Beautifully written. Well done.
Thanks so much for reading this story, and taking time to send a comment. I am sincerely thrilled when my words do more than fill a page. When I write, I test my work by how deeply I can get into a story and if I enter the story, and walk the path of my main character, I rest... mehr anzeigen
Very well done. You writing flows easily. You've got my vote.
Thanks, p.j.lawton, for your read, comment, and vote. I know people lead very busy lives, and when a reader goes the extra effort to leave a comment, I am doubly honored. Elizabeth
Hi.
I saw your name on one of the book page sites, you had read a book, and your name caught my eyes...lazarus, such a biblical name, and it being Easter, it sent my fingers in search of your profile page. Thanks for reading my story, and your comments; I like to receive input... mehr anzeigen
Hi.
I saw your name on one of the book page sites, you had read a book, and your name caught my eyes...lazarus, such a biblical name, and it being Easter, it sent my fingers in search of your profile page. Thanks for reading my story, and your comments; I like to receive input from other writers, and value their views on my work. This work was partly from research, but mostly from observing a close family member as she spiraled into a state of total confusion. Also, I did mark, and read your shorter work, but will wait to give any comments until after a read of your other work. Wa do, Elizabeth
