DURHAM — Clydie Pugh-Myers, one of the state’s first black licensed practical nurses, once drove a red Cadillac around Durham, sang in the choir at her church, and generally stayed busy.
These days, living with two knee replacements, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other ailments, she can no longer drive and sits at home alone a lot. She says even people from her church don’t come to see her much.
“Since I’ve gotten 84, it’s gotten tough,” Pugh-Myers said in her South Durham home.

Everyone needs it. For me, my ultimate hope is in the God of the Bible. I don’t know how atheists make it through anything scary or traumatic without either going crazy or killing themselves. We are NOT just well-evolved animals!!!
We are created in the image of the God of the Universe. And how did that God choose to reveal Himself?
FATHER!!!
He is our Father and He loves all of us. And THAT truth gives many of us the strength to look at this video and think….”There IS hope”
Question: I am a mother of two young boys, aged 7 and 11. My mom has Alzheimer’s disease and my father is her primary caregiver. We live down the street from my parents. I also have two sisters that live in the same small town. I don’t get to visit my mom as much as I would like because she is a smoker and, since her disease has progressed, she is now smoking in the house. I can’t tolerate the smoke-filled house and my kids get sinus infections when we do visit.
My husband just completed his master’s degree and has been offered a job that would move us to a destination eight hours away by airplane. I’m trying to decide if I can deal with being so far away from my mom. Even though I only visit once a week, I am here to help my dad when he needs it. If you can you offer me any advice on this matter I will be very appreciative. Thank you.
Dr. Amy: One of the hardest things about your situation—and elder care planning in general—is that our decisions can affect the entire family and not just the person who needs care. Long distance caregiving can be a challenge. You can manage it, but there are many things to consider. Here are a few:
If cost is not an obstacle, a geriatric care manager could sit down with you and your sisters and help you map out a plan. Whatever choice you make will have its pros and cons. Your challenge will be to figure out what you can live with and how best to minimize the downsides.
The National Institute on Aging has developed a helpful workbook about long distance caregiving, which I think you will find helpful. You can download a copy from http://www.nia.nih.gov/health/publication/so-far-away-twenty-questions-and-answers-about-long-distance-caregiving-0. Good luck!
