Just joined an looking forward to interacting.
I care for my mum,but really,she is my maternal aunt who raised me from the age of two bless her. Its quite difficult at times although am sure I am more fortunate than some. She has secondary health problems and had to have a section of bowel removed last year which was impacted with cancer, poor old darling. Shes so brave, and if I were to say her memory loss has any upside, its that she does not remember the op etc.
I find myself constantly swinging between grief at the loss of her 'old' self , frustration of the present, fear of the future and soooo many points in between.......am thinking I may not be alone.....?
