Hi all .
my mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s only a week ago and I can’t get to grips with it. She’s had an awful memory for years but still functioned normally still drives her car ect ect.
my big issue is I’m a carer, a community carer and I specialise in end of life care, I have spent over 20 years dealing with this subject, for clients and families and now I’m a wreck.....
Just when I’m needed I’m terrified I’m scared I’m angry I’m just so sad, I get this is normal and like many I have read in hear my guilt is massive as I’m a crying wreck!!
I’m not sleeping because if bad dreams, I find I’m driving and then just start to cry, not sobbing just cry and cry.
I know first hand what’s coming and I think that’s what’s frightening me, I’ve been here do this week In week out , but this is killing me, the feeling of helplessness is enormous as I can’t fix this .
