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.

    Dear Maisiemae, i have been following this thread and am so so sorry for your loss, My Dad too passed just before i got to him and i think he wanted it that way, Take comfort in the fact that you did everything possible to fullfill your Mum's last wishes. Please look after yourself as you will need strength for the coming days/weeks. Lynn 2 xxx

    Most of the time in the midst of things it's the only place to say the stuff nobody else can handle hearing..in my opinion. 

    But Maisiemae if you need not to be on here at anytime that's OK too.


    Hug..

  • Having a difficult day today.  Feel so sad for all of us.

    Mum sleeps most of the time now and is quite confused when she is awake.

    I'm back to work tomorrow and have this terrible feeling that something is going to happen and I won't be able to get to mum in time.

    Thinking of everyone tonight.

    Hugs to all. X

    Hope we all get some sleep or at least rest.

    Didn't say before Mum has another infection and more antibiotics is stuck in her room. Am getting a stair lift.  Hope she can get in it.


    Night all...for now.

    I can only imagine it must feel surreal Yantibee. 

    Hope you get some rest this night.

    Yantibee - the time feels wretched in a different way for me.  We cant please nor nurture our loved one, my raison d'etre has gone. Maybe we can eventually self care and see that we also deserve love and care. I feel very numb and unless words said to me are real they annoy me. Playing lip service. Also offering to help now infuriates me. Now is too late. Now takes away from my months of dedicated, loving, thoughtful, stomach churning sickness. Ive sobbed and sobbed. Also feel mummy and i mourned together. I may post less (who knows) but i feel i want some continuity and my friends here just know and i dont want to do any explaining. Mum went through horrors the last 4 days. It will haunt me. It will make me feel sick for the rest of my life. Love and respect x

    Maisiemae help now? Ffs!! 

    Do what you need now...other people's agendas are meaningless.  


    So sorry your Mum had horrors in the last days. Wish I could take that away from your memories.  However you were there then, her constant, she knew this before she went.


    Keep warm in the cold. Look after you.  Let the dogs help.
