Supes, Xochi, Moonie, Madame A and Baz,

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

 

Aw EC..  I'm so sorry 

 

I said all last year that the only thing I could think of that would have been worse than the slow death of the cancer that killed my Mum would have been Alzheimer's .     The brain tumour she had gave me a horrible insight into how truly awful it is to lose bits of the person you love..   right in front of your eyes.   And to watch it rob them of their dignity. 

 

I am so so sorry. 

 

I have also learned (enlightened now ain't I?   wish to hell I wasn't) that however long you have had to "come to terms with their death"..  however much warning you had, however much you prayed for the mercy of death to happen..   it makes no difference when it actually does happen.     Unbelievably it still feels like a shock..    and nothing actually does prepare you for it.

 

You're much loved on here...    the people here will help you...   

 

Its been 5 months for me now..     and its just starting to turn the corner and get better....    (sorry to say that up until christmas it just seemed to hurt more & more each day...   I just clung onto the fact that everyone had said it takes 6 months..   6 months til it starts to get bearable). 

 

And then there is your Mum...     I've had that one too..    a heartbroken grieving parent...     best advice anyone has given my Dad was the six month rule..   DO NOT MAKE ANY DECISIONS... especially about where you are going to live..   for 6 months.   But on a day to day basis..   its so hard.

 

Sorry...  I wittered on.... 

 

I just wanted you to know - somehow we start to get through this..   either that or holding back the tears starts to become a sub conscious thing..    

 

much love xx

 

 

Thank you Scotty, Velvet and YR.

Appreciate your words.

 

thinking of you all at this very sad time 

Hi EC,

 

Understand fully what you've been through and how it is for you right now.  We've missed you here, and hope that we can now be of some comfort for you  

 

That is a very heartfelt post and I can empathise with much of it. 

 

I appreciate the friends on the forum and know what a good group they all are and always willing to give an ear to a problem.

 

I am lucky to work for an organisation that has a councillor - something I have taken advantage of. It's good to chat to a professional, especially someone who has had first hand experience of my situation. I have been given a lot of advice.

 

Thanks for your post and words DPGT 

 

 

 so sorry to hear of your loss

 

 

Thanks MrsH & Cosi

 

Everyone is being very nice and I appreciate it.

 

 

 

 

I'm terribly sorry for your loss E.C. I lost my dad the same way 5yrs ago. Alzheimers is an awful thing to watch and live with. I hope your mum is ok, it will take time but all our thoughts are with you and your family  

Thanks Saint.

Thanks Bethni.

Yes, it's quite dreadful. He had it around 10 years. Mum seems reasonably OK, keeping herself busy.

sorry to hear that EC

 

ahh, EC, so sorry . Thoughts are with you and the family x

 

 

Thanks Pirate & Slinki.

It truly is, watched my nana change into a totally different person, it nearly killed my dad looking after her 

so sorry for your (and family's) loss

So sorry for your loss EC

That's very sad news indeed EC, I'm gutted for you that you've had to go through that
I hope your dad passed peacefully at the end and that he knew he was being looked after, and loved.

Make sure you look after yourself now, even though you probably don't feel like it at times, but it's important
Know that you're not alone, and we are always here for you
