Having a bad day

Hello maisiemae,

My heart goes out to you, for what you are truly suffering. Your Mum's passing was not what you would have chosen. But please believe me when I say it was for a greater purpose, to get her husband there. And that is so amazing that you put all your needs aside to achieve this. To know she was like this with you in her last moments must have been incredibly hard, but know she was a very frightened woman, and probably not in her right mind.

Take care, Anneteresa

Hello Sue,

The passing of our loved one is bad enough, but all the stuff after can be so difficult. Just wanted to add my voice of support, especially as you just mentioned Witham and Braintree. I lived in Colchester until 1973, then made that journey along the A12 many many times. My sister still livesthere, and I nursed my Mum there in 2006. So know the area well, and have mostly happy memories!

Take care, Anneteresa

I love that shop too. Although can't buy anything in there now as carers allowance is ridiculous. Still I wandered in there before Christmas.

Mum seems perky. Her friend visited. She's eaten 3 times...walked a bit.

Said she's sleepy all the time..but seems more alert to me.

I have no idea why.  Antibiotics finish tomorrow. 

Dad keeps getting cramp and sweating...is eating though.

I'm sorting power of attorney forms...

How is everyone doing today?

That's good about your mum eating Jenny.

I rang the home this morning and they said that mum was a little weaker and a bit more confused.  I was so upset. Messaged my good sister.  She said that she'd been so upset this morning too. Then an hour later my brother messaged to say that mum was really with it this morning. She ate more at lunchtime too.  So that's good, made me feel a bit better. 

Been a crappy day though. 

Hope everyone is ok ish...

Elenium sorry it's a rough day.  Hope your Mum is a bit better next time you see her. 

Hug.

Thanks Jenny.

Saw my older sister this evening.  Got upset when we were talking about mum.  She gave me a hug,  I think that's the first time she's hugged me since I was a child.

Got to take mum to fracture clinic on Wednesday.  I hope she's strong enough.

Glad you hugged.

It's difficult getting our mums anywhere at this point. We have ambulance on Thursday for mum's appointment with oncology. 

Let us know how you get on.

Really glad to have been able to offer some comfort to you. 

Meandering a lot today. In a kind of netherworld where part of me expects him to turn up again. Intellectually I realise this cannot be, but "never" is just too big an elephant to digest in a few weeks' sittings, it seems. Maybe it's time for a glass of wine.

Peace and good wishes to you all xx

My siblings are fuckwits and very limited
