this is my first thread and something i have never done before
i have read other members threads and found them so helpful
I'm struggling my darling mum has been in a wonderful care home for almost two years, she was diganosed with dementia 7 years ago she is 75, mum is now in her final stage she has full nursing care since she went into the home ,mum was at home with dad before that she went into another home miles away, had a fall there and went down hill physically very quickly, my brothers and i managed after a fight with social services to get her moved to our home town.
my mum has a wonderful sense of humour and that is how we have coped with this dreadful illness, by singing and dancing playing mums fav music and DVDs and having lots of fun with her with my three bothers.But she is no longer communicating her eye are closed a lot and she sleeps more, mum is eating less I have tried to keep my emotions suppressed and try to be strong , my dads struggles and i try to support him as much as i can but we have not aways had a good relationship, but I'm finding dealing with dad sometimes overwhelming.
I'm watching my mum fade away and its getting so hard to visit the tears come more and more I'm sorry if iv rambled on but I'm struggling
