When I first came on this forum six years ago, I almost felt a fraud. Mum was in the early stages of alzheimers and was coping pretty well, in her little flat. Sadly things didnt stay that way, and a journey began in which I gradually moved from section to section until I now find myself here at the end of the journey. Mum passed peacefully away at the end of last month and we’ve both been released. As my sister lives abroad and my brother opted out I have coped with everything with the support of my lovely husband. This forum has been an absolute Godsend. I may not have posted very much but I have read others posts avidly and they have been such a comfort in times of great stress, and last year a bad depression. So now its a new phase. I want to thank everyone who runs this forum and everyone whose posts have helped me greatly.

My condolences to you @Ruby2shoes . I too got through six years of caring for my loved one thanks to the support and information freely given by people here on Talking Point. I can also vouch for the support and understanding I have continued to receive through the grief that follows. Keep posting, we understand and will be here for you.

So sorry for your loss. I too have recently been released from my longtime caring role. My father passed away about a fortnight ago. It will take time to adapt to this new phase in our lives without our loved one, but they would want us to go on and live our life now, to the full. Sending love and strength x
