I have been thinking the last few days about whether any year can be a "Happy New Year" once you step onto the dementia/alzheimers road.
Both my parents have the disease, my dad has been in a CH since June and my mum is ok at home on her own for the moment.
I know that this year will just bring more guilt, more worry, more crying, more of a decline in both my parents, more hurdles to climb, more hospital trips ..............
I feel like I am on an road with no exits and no finish line, trudging along the endless path waiting to turn the next corner to see if it is still flat or it there is another mountain to climb.
Sorry for being a misery, I just can't get into all this "happy new year" talk.
