When

[elvismad]

When more is lost than remains and the patience deserved has been smothered by anger and frustration....
When despite seeing the fear, confusion and need, the overriding instinct is to run....
When each day means another piece lost with nothing in it's place....
When, ultimately, recognition has gone...
When the deepest sadness drowns your soul...

You've said it as it is. Thanks for putting into words the reality so many of us live with ... and wish we didn't!

Wow!
Am so glad to have someone else express in words what I feel
Thank you!
Still on go here from 7am...mum determined not to sleep.
Am tired an I wanna go to bed...but instead am in and out of mums room stroking her head and whispering I love you to her, she keeps ringing her bell, making no sense when I go in as to why she wants me.
Sick of advice from the helicopters who are tucked up and not a care in the world!
I'll do me any day.

Amen.

So well put. I am a ball of anger.

Must remember to play more Elvis. He takes me out of myself.

Beautiful expression of the loss many of us feel as we watch our loved ones do little more than breathe each day.

And of course the unspoken thought .will it all come to an end?
