Hello this is my first time on here, wanted to ask if any one has any coping stratergies for when you live a while away from your loved ones, at the moment seem to be spending most of my time traveling around the country when not at work, to help give a break to my family. Feeling really fustrated as most of the time theirs not much I can do and my worst fears are currently being realised in being"forgotten"by my pop,
Every thing seems to be happening too fast, This time last year there was occassional confusion, now it seems good if he's able to recognise he is in his own home. As a nurse I have worked with so many people including those with this and simular conditions, and although it helps in keeping your cool, every thing else just seems to go out of the window. Been keeping every thing bottled up and tonight everything just hitting me and i'm just trying to stop the tears from continuously falling.
I`m not usually one to talk so much about the things that upset me but just reading all of your songs and messages and poems on here tonight, have brought tears, smiles and laughter to me , sometimes all at once, and for that and feeling like there is a place in this universe where you dont have to explain yourself to be understood, I thank you all dearly,
Would apprieciate any advice especially from those that have travelled to help care for family, many thanks
