Having a bad day

Sorry but I'm having a bad day and I just need to let it out.  I woke up feeling like I've had no sleep and really down.  Mum's been bad this week - a lot of pain and, I think, sliding into depression - so I'm in overdrive on worrying about her.  My sister is with her today so I don't need to go round to see mum although I probably will drop round later.  I thought I would throw myself into cleaning the house so make myself busy and then I'd start to feel better.  My fatal mistake was asking my 18 year old daughter to help.  She had a major strop.  I tried to keep calm as I realise that she is worrying about my mum too but it was hard.  I tried to talk to her but she just got worse and worse so I gave up.  Then my husband made sarcastic comments about it all - again he is worrying and his mum is also not well - so I am still trying to keep a lid on it.  But I feel even worse now.  I'm now sitting on the sofa in my pyjama's watching old episodes of Grey's Anatomy without the will to do anything else.  I just keep crying and feel so very very sad.

    Maisiemae take care on your way there.

    It's heartbreaking to hear about your Mum.  Hated disease.


    I wish peace....


    Hug.

    Oh Maisiemae, I feel for you, I reallly do. Losing my precious Mum was so difficult, but it was a release for her. 10 years later it is still so hard, but less painful. I wish you well

    Take care Anneteresa

  • Hello Maisiemai,

    I'm so sorry to hear your news.

    I will be thinking of you, to help your mum through this last part of the pathway will be a difficult one but also a tender one and it's where we all knew we would arrive, it's still a shock to be told this I know.

    Hold her hand tight and keep telling her how much you love her, but

    I know you do that anyway. Safe journey. X

    Take a deep breath ... then on with the day.

    Elenium - im taking train/bus replacements as feels safer with my emotions. To discover my sister is driving today and she lives 10 mins walk away from me. She is coming with my niece. They both have flu. Neither of them like me at the moment (or ever in case of sister). Ive said it as it is. All flying in at the 11th hour and then will leave tomorrow having seen mum, done the tears, so im going to go out when they are there as i cant be fake. On top of everythjng else! Of course its about mum not me. Now the end is so close i just want it quiet and peaceful and mum asked me to be there even Though i was going anyway. Im aware i sound childish. So then they are staying 'in accommodation' to see in the New Year. I will be next to my mum holding her hand x

  • maisiemae, you don't sound childish.  I completely get it.  Just put them out of your mind and focus on you and mum.  You're the one maisiemae and your mum knows it.  She knows what it's like with your sister and brother but they're her children and she loves them.  But you are the one.  I'll be with you today holding your hand while you hold your mum's.  

    I need you to hold my hand too today.  Mum's not mum today.  She didn't recognise me.  She's completely out of it, she's twitchy and tearful and can't stay awake.  She hasn't even put her teeth in.  She always puts her teeth in.  She refuses to be seen without them.  I'm so scared. I rang my sister, who was with her yesterday.  She said mum wasn't like this  Even the carers are concerned.  My sister's coming.  I don't know what to do.
