hi all,
Been quite a while since my last post, but am curious to have your opinions on this one.
Mam has been in the home just over a year now, obviously she has deteriorated in that time. One of the most difficult things for me is her not knowing who I am. She often thinks I’m her cousin and that’s fine, I’ve always said, so long as she’s happy to see me that's ok. Recently though she has stated quite a few times that she ‘didn’t know I had a daughter’, although she knows my daughter is her granddaughter.
Consequently I’m wondering if I should just get a generic birthday card this year instead of one with Mam on.
It’s a small thing I know, but as I said, I’m curious to know what others have done in similar situations.
Thanks x
