Been to visit today

Less than one minute read time.

We went to see MIL today. Hubby has been seeing her everyday but I've been having to stay at home with the children. We took the boys to say goodbye. She is unable to hold a conversation and struggles even to finish a sentence. It would be unfair I think, at their age, to take them back when she is worse than she was today.

My sister in law's carers will be bringing her to say goodbye tomorrow. With her it would be likewise unfair to take her to visit once Sylvia has declined further. She has severe autism and bipolar disorder it's hard enough for her to make sense of it as it is.

It is so sad to see her this way and I can only hope that her prayers for quick release are answered.

My thoughts are with you all at this very sad time.

I too hope your MIL isn't suffering and is peaceful.

Love to you all, Christine xx

Hi Hayley, yes it would be better for the

children to remember there granny as

she was before she deteriorated.And as

she is so ill i doubt if she knows who thy

are. This has been so hard for you and

your hubby as you were ready to have

Mil home with you all, and tho it was going to be difficult at times you were

prepared to go ahead and look after Mil

in the time she had left. Its worked out

for the best in a way as you and hubby

can spend time with Mil without the

pressure. I do hope for Mils sake that if

she is to leave this world it will be sooner rather than later, that has been her wish,

and for Mil it would be her wish that she

went with dignity.

I send you a Hug Hayley and hope you keep strong at this sad time..

With Love Lucy Lee. xxx
