First Christmas

[twinklestar]

Mum has been in a nursing home for eight months so this is our first Christmas without her at home and boy does it feel strange.

We will be going to see mum tomorrow and I will look forward to that but it is still strange.

Your thoughts would be welcome.

Hello ...........

Twinkle Star ( love the festive name ! ) Yes am sure it does seem strange too you with your Mum not at Home with you any more ( but guess that is sort of normal ? & a bit like when any family member moves away from the family Home** Sorry tho if I have got it wrong ! )


Sorry not able too offer my thoughts or advice about your visit tomorrow , however hope it goes well for you & your Mum & hope you have a good welcome in** from the Staff on duty** ( am a Catering Assistant in a small Specialist Dementia Unit ) & have worked Christmas Day quite a few times in other N Homes & the Staff have made all visitor's feel extra special at Christmas


Just wanted too reply as you had not had any & too offer my support ( tho it was not much ! )


Happy Christmas too you & your family


Love Grove x x

Hello twinkle star . I am sure you will have a lovely day with your mum . It will be hard but you will spend good quality time with her , which is ideal . I look after my mum at home and tonight she has been up and down over 10 times , so I know her and I will be very tired tomorrow and won't appreciate the day fully . I know tomorrow won't be the same for you but you will create new memories and you will see your mum happy and well cared for, as I'm sure you will have chosen her a good care home . Best wishes to you and your mum and I hope you both have a great day together . Lou x
