Hi lovely people! Just a heads up that still around, and alive.
Last 3 months have been tough with mum through palliative care and then passing away... (F*ck Cancer!).
Slowly around... just wanted to say to you all lovelies!
My father had dementia (not from alzheimer's, a head injury) for years and I know how hard that is to live with for everyone. She's lucky to have had you help her in her time of need and I know that grief is something horrible to live with. I'm sorry for your loss.
I am with you 100%. I retired from work so I could take care of my Mother who has advanced dementia. She depends on me for everything. It is so sad to see her slowly wither away. I could never send her away to a retirement home. She is happier here.
@Brettson bless you! One thing I will never regret was dropping EVERYTHING and being there until the very last breath, even cleaning her up while she was sedated. She was only 58yo, and gave everything for us. She deserved it all.
You are better for it Aurora. I can tell you that I have obtained a special grace that I cannot put into words for doing this. It brings her so much sorrow in this chapter of her life, but I am there to lift her when she is down.
