Hi everyone.
I haven't updated for a while. I thought mum was getting better, well ok, not better but coping.
Christmas was great. Mum is still on her anti depresents after loosing dad. The last couple of weeks mum seems to be getting low again. I am hoping that it is just the January blues.
Mums memory is getting worse. She asks constantly what day it is and things like that, which I know is normal. She is still in her bungalow and is starting to go out quite alot.
Yesterday I went to see her and she was really upset. We had alot of tears, but by the time I left she was smiling. It is her 70th birthday in March and we went and booked a table for all of the family at a lovely restaurant near her and she is really excited.
I spoke to my sister today and mum hadn't mentioned anything to her about me going over yesterday, she just said that she hadn't done anything and was bored. Mum is also saying one thing to my sister, like I eally enjoyed last night at the bowls, but to me she is saying that it was really borning.
I have phoned mum today and again she has been in tears with me. But with my sister she has been fine. Is this normal?
I feel so bad that I can't be there all the time, and I know that when I am mum really has a great time, and so do I. I just hate feeling like this when I can't always drop everything and be there.
Is this normal behaviour? I don't know.
Love
