My partner David has vascular dementia,but also has very little mobility,and is totally bedbound and incontinent,epilepsy,diabeties to name but a few of his ailments,and I care for him 7 days a week,and am happy to do so but...……...its all the other things I have to deal with,finance,business issues,etc which I find so wearing.
a friend and I are gradually ploughing through David's huge office ,and we believe it will take several years to get through all the paper work and documents which are piled up to the ceiling ,and that is no exaggeration,you need to see it to believe it.
We have found dozens of cheques which have never been cashed,and they are years out of date,stocks and shares,and not knowing if any of it is valid today,an envelope full of old £10 notes,and it continues,and this is the things which are tearing me apart.
I am now having to learn many new things as David always took care of finances,and indeed was very clever,but it exhausts me and I dread every new day as it seems to chuck up something else I have to deal with.
David's office was always his domain and I rarely if ever stepped inside the door,and I am totally in shock with what faced me.
I am very house proud,but this office takes clutter to a new level.
