The following document is about transcending suffering. It presents an experience of group spiritual direction. In group spiritual direction a small group comes together to share life's journey, and to understand more deeply the place God has in life. A homogeneous group of adult children of Alzheimers's victims met for six weeks. The focus of the sharing was based on the third week of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The third week exercises draw the person's attention to the Passion of Christ. Being united with the suffering of Christ gave meaning to our own suffering with Alzheimer's Disease. Our parents were good people: why did they have to suffer so heinous a disease? The literature informing the dissertation project centered on the disease of Alzheimer's the scriptures prayed in the third week, and the question of suffering. The role of the caregiver is essential. Being aware of the needs of the patient is only part of the knowledge needed to live with Alzheimer's Disease; caregivers must be in touch with their own needs. The caregivers must be keenly aware of the importance of balance in their own lives in order to take proper care of the patient. Transcending suffering occurred when the group united their sufferings with the sufferings of Christ.
