mum and christmas

Less than one minute read time.

well mum is really worrying me .she has no interest in anything ,shes not opened any of her christmas cards ,she just seems really depressed again ,not eating much and bringing a lot of food back up,,her only meals at the moment are small portion of porridge in the morning,half a tin of soup at dinner and a bit of custard at tea time .she has been married to my stepdad for 30 years but lately all they do is argue .we are back to going into the bedroom crying .they dont want to spend christmas with anyone because she doesnt want to sit there whilst everyone else is eating,my sister is blending her some dinner for christmas day but i doubt if she will try it ..i dont know what to do ..i will be so glad when this year and christmas is overx

    Hi Passion,

    You and your Family are going through a hell of a time. You are stuck in a place, where everything seems to be going wrong. Your Mum and Dad argueing isnt helping matters.But its not their fault its this bloody disease is driving everybody mad.

    Especially at this time of the year. I hope you and your Family have a nice Christmas. Look after yourself as well as your Mum.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xx

    Hi passion.  Christmas can be such an emotional time even without this awful disease.  I am so sorry that your mum is feeling bad and that she is struggling to eat, it's so difficult to watch isn't it.  I hope tomorrow your mum is able to eat the Christmas dinner your sister is making and that you all have a peaceful Christmas together.  Take care of yourself.  Love Caroline XX

    Hi Val (((hugs)))

    Im really sorry that your mum is going through a bad time just now and that the stent hasn't made much difference to her ability to swallow. I can understand both hers and your feelings about christmas day, of course you want her to be with you for christmas dinner and yet she probably worries that she will make it harder for all of you if she struggles with trying anything. I think that all of us put such pressure on  to make christmas special, even when we don't actually feel like doing it.  I really hope that in spite of everything, you manage to have a special day with your precious mum, and that it isnt too hard for youxx

    Will be thinking of you, with love Sharonxx
